they did not know how --Perhaps they'll listen now.Starry, starry nightFlaming flowers that brightly blazeSwirling clouds in violet hazeColors changing hueMorning fields of amber grainWeathered faces lined in painAre soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.Now I understandWhat you tried to say, to meAnd how you suffered for your sanityAnd how you tried to set them free:They would not listen; they did not know how --Perhaps they'll listen now.For they could not love youBut still, your love was trueAnd when no hope was left insideOn that starry, starry nightYou took your life as lovers often do --This world was never meantFor one as beautiful as you.Starry, Starry nightPortraits hung in empty hallsFrameless heads on nameless wallsWith eyes that watch the world and can't forgetLike the strangers that you've metThe ragged men in ragged clothesThe silver thorn, a bloody roseLie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.Now I think I knowWhat you tried to say, to meAnd how you suffered for your sanityAnd how you tried to set them free:They would not listen; they're not listening still --Perhaps they never will.
