LYRICS FOR "Vincent"
Starry
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summers 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 colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
They would not listen
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry
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
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
They would not listen
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could've told you
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you
