Vincent_Don McLean(돈 맥크린)

 

Stary stary night
Paint your palette
blue and gray
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

Now I understand
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 listen now

Stary stary night
Flaming flowers
that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds
in violet haze
Reflect in vincent's eyes
of China blue
Colors changing hue
Morning field of amber grain
Weathered faces
lined in pain are soothed
Beneath artist's loving hand

Now I understand
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 listen now

For they could not love you
but still
your love was true
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
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 bloddy rose
lie crushed and broken
on the virgin snow.

And now I think I know
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.
