martyn joseph - vincent lyrics

[verse 1]
starry, starry night
paint your palette blue and grey
look out on a summer’s day
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils
catch the breeze and the winter chills
in color on the snowy linen land

[chorus]
now i understand
what you try to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
how you try to set them free
they would not listen, they did not know how
perhaps they’ll listen now

[verse 2]
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 fiеlds of amber grain
weatherеd faces lined with pain
are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand
[chorus]
now i understand
what you try to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
how you try to set them free
they would not listen, they did not know how
perhaps they’ll listen now

[bridge]
for they could not love you
still your love was true
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
that his world was never meant for one
as beautiful as you

[verse 3]
starry, starry night
portraits hung in empty halls
frameless heads on nameless walls
watch the world with eyes that can’t forget
like the strangers that you’ve met
the ragged men in ragged clothes
silver th+rn, a bl++dy rose
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[outro]
now i think i know
what you try to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
you try to set them free
they would not listen, they’re not listening still
perhaps they never will
