Starry
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

Starry
starry night

flaming flo'rs 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

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.
*
& 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're not list'ning still

perhaps they never will.
*
and when no hope was left in sight
on that starry
starry night
You took your life
as lovers often do;

she's not here @
