Josh Groban - Vincent (Starry, Starry Night) <br />-------------------------------------------- <br /><br />Starry, starry night <br />Paint your palette blue and grey <br />Look out on a summer's day <br />With eyes that know the darkness in my soul <br />Shadows on the hills <br />Sketch the trees and daffodils <br />Catch the breeze and the winter chills <br />In colours on the snowy linen land <br /><br />Now I understand <br />What you tried to say to me <br />And how you suffered for your sanity <br />And how you tried to set them free <br />They would not listen <br />They did not know how <br />Perhaps they'll listen now <br /><br />Starry, starry night <br />Flaming flowers that brightly blaze <br />Swirling clouds and violet haze <br />Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue <br />Colours changing hue <br />Morning fields of amber grain <br />Weathered faces lined in pain <br />Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand <br /><br />Now I understand <br />What you tried to say to me <br />And how you suffered for your sanity <br />And how you tried to set them free <br />They would not listen <br />They did not know how <br />Perhaps they'll listen now <br /><br />For they could not love you <br />But still your love was true <br />And when no hope was left inside <br />On that starry, starry night <br />You took your life as lovers often do <br />But I could have told you Vincent <br />This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you <br /><br />Like the strangers that you've met <br />The ragged men in ragged clothes <br />The silver thorn of bloody rose <br />Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow <br /><br />Now I think I know <br />What you tried to say to me <br />And how you suffered for your sanity <br />And how you tried to set them free <br />They would not listen <br />They're not listening still <br />Perhaps they never will...
