Vincent (LIVE)
Don McLean
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.
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
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
