Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer day

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul



Shadows on the hills

Sketch the trees and daffodils

Catch the breeze, and winter chills

And colors on the snow linen land



What you tried

To say to me

And how you suffered for

Your sanity



And how you tried to set them free

They could not listen

They did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now



And when no hope was left inside

On that starry, starry night

You took your life, as lovers often do

I coulda told you, Vincent

This world was never meant for one



As beautiful as you



Starry, starry night
