Paint your pallet blue and gray
 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 colors on the snowy linen land

And now I understand
 What you tried to say to me
 How you suffered for your sanity
 How you tried to set them free

They would not listen
 They did not know how
 Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
 Flaming flow'rs that brightly blaze
 Swirling clouds of violet haze
 Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue

And now I understand
 What you tried to say to me
 How you suffered for your sanity
 How you tried to set them free

Perhaps they'll listen now
 For they could not love you
 But still your love was true

And 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
 This world was never meant
 For one as beautiful as you

Starry, starry night
 Portraits hung in empty halls
 Frameless heads on nameless walls
 With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the stranger that you've met
 The ragged men in ragged clothes
 The silver thorn of bloody rose
 Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

And now I think I know
 What you tried to say to me
 How you suffered for your sanity
 How you tried to set them free

They would not listen
 They're not listening still
 Perhaps they never will
