Vincent Van Gogh's Painting

Beautiful song by Don Mclean, inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's
painting, starry night. Liked the lyrics and the rhythm of the song...

Starry starry night

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 the colours on the snowy linen land

For they could not love you, but still, your love
was true

and when no hope was left inside, on that starry,
starry night,

you took your life as lovers often do, but I
could've told you, Vincent,

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as
you...

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 strangers that you've met, the ragged men
in ragged clothes,

The silver thorn, a bloody rose, lie crushed and
broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know, what you tried to say to me.

How you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried
to set them free,

they would not listen, they're not listening still,

Perhaps they never will...

~Don McLean
