Vincent - 5/13/03

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette
Blue and gray
Look out on a summer day
With eyes that know
The darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze, and winter chills
And colors on the snow 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 could not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

And when no hope was left inside
On that starry starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
I coulda told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you

Starry starry night
