RONAN KEATING - Vincent lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Starry, starry night<br>

Paint your palette blue and gray<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>

In colors on the snowy linen land<br>

<br>

Now I understand<br>

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 violet haze<br>

Reflecting Vincent's eyes of China blue<br>

Colors changing hue<br>

Morning fields of amber grain<br>

Weathered faces lined in pain<br>

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hands<br>

<br>

Now I understand<br>

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>

For they could not love you<br>

But still your love was true<br>

And when no hope was left in sight<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<br>

Beautiful as you<br>

<br>

Starry, starry night<br>

Portraits hung in empty halls<br>

Frameless heads on nameless walls<br>

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget<br>

Like the strangers that you've met<br>

The ragged men in ragged clothes<br>

A silver thorn on a 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>

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<br>

<BR><BR>
