Starry Night

Starry Night

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 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 flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grin

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
They took your life
But I could have told you
This world was never
Meant for one
As beautiful as you.

And now I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set us free.
They would not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will.
