Starry Starry Night 歌詞

Starry starry night 
paint your palette(調色盤) blue and grey 
look out on a summer's day 
with eyes that know the 
darkness in my soul. 
Shadows(影子) on the hills 
sketch(素描) the trees and the daffodils(水仙花) 
catch the breeze(微風) and the winter chills 
in colors on the snowy linen(內襯) land. 
And now I understand what you tried to say to me 
how you suffered for your sanity 
how you tried to set them free. 
They would not listen 
they did not know how 
perhaps they'll listen now. 
Starry starry night 
flaming flowers that brightly blaze 
swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in 
Vincent's eyes of China blue. 
Colors changing hue 
morning fields of amber grain 
weathered faces lined in pain 
are soothed beneath the artist's 
loving hand. 
And now I understand what you tried to say to me 
how you suffered for your sanity 
how you tried to set them free. 
perhaps they'll listen now. 
For they could not love you 
but still your love was true 
and when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night. 
You took your life 
as lovers often do; 
But I could have told you 
Vincent 
this world was never 
meant for one 
as beautiful as you. 
Starry starry night 
portraits hung in empty halls 
frameless heads on nameless walls 
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. 
Like the stranger that you've met 
the ragged men in ragged clothes 
the silver thorn of bloody rose 
lie crushed and broken 
on the virgin snow. 
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me 
how you suffered for your sanity 
how you tried to set them free. 
They would not listen 
they're not 
list'ning still 
perhaps they never will.
