Fightstar - Vincent lyrics
rate me<span class="feat">(originally by Don McLean)</span><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 the daffodils<br />
Catch the breeze and the winter chills<br />
And cut us on a snowy linen land<br />
And now I understand, what you tried to say to me<br />
How you suffered for your sanity<br />
How you tried to set them free<br />
They would not listen, 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 in a violet haze<br />
Reflecting Vincent's eyes of china blue<br />
Colours changing hue<br />
Morning fields of evergreen<br />
Weathered faces, lined in pain<br />
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand<br />
<br />
Now I understand, what you tried to say to me<br />
How you suffered for your sanity<br />
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 />
For they could not love you<br />
But still your love was true<br />
And when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night, you took your life as lovers often do<br />
But I could have told you Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you<br />
<br />
Starry starry night<br />
Portraits hung in empty halls<br />
Frameless heads on nameless walls, with eyes that watch the world and can't forget<br />
Like the stranger that you've met<br />
The ragged men in ragged clothes<br />
The silver thorn, the bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow<br />
<br />
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me<br />
How you suffered for your sanity<br />
How you tried to set them free<br />
They would not listen, they're not listening still<br />
Perhaps they never will
