Vincent (梵谷之歌) - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)[00:00:00]
Written by:Don McLean[00:00:00]
Starry starry night[00:00:00]
Paint your palette blue and grey[00:00:05]
Look out on a summer's day[00:00:09]
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul[00:00:13]
Shadows on the hills[00:00:17]
Sketch the trees and the daffodils[00:00:21]
Catch the breeze and the winter chills[00:00:26]
In colors on the snowy linen land[00:00:30]
And now I understand[00:00:37]
What you tried to say to me[00:00:41]
And how you suffered for your sanity[00:00:46]
And how you tried to set them free[00:00:51]
They would not listen they did not know how[00:00:54]
Perhaps they'll listen now[00:01:00]
Starry starry night[00:01:05]
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze[00:01:10]
Swirling clouds in violet haze[00:01:15]
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue[00:01:19]
Colors changing hue[00:01:23]
Morning fields of amber grain[00:01:28]
Weathered faces lined in pain[00:01:33]
Are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand[00:01:37]
And now I understand[00:01:42]
What you tried to say to me[00:01:46]
And how you suffered for your sanity[00:01:50]
And how you tried to set them free[00:01:55]
They would not listen they did not know how[00:01:58]
Perhaps they'll listen now[00:02:04]
For they could not love you[00:02:07]
But still your love was true[00:02:11]
And when no hope was left in sight on that[00:02:16]
Starry starry night[00:02:21]
You took your life as lovers often do[00:02:23]
But I could have told you Vincent[00:02:28]
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you[00:02:32]
Starry starry night[00:02:41]
Portraits hung in empty halls[00:02:47]
Frameless heads on nameless walls[00:02:51]
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget[00:02:55]
Like the stranger that you've met[00:03:00]
The ragged men in ragged clothes[00:03:04]
The silver thorn of bloddy rose[00:03:08]
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow[00:03:12]
And now I think I know[00:03:18]
What you tried to say to me[00:03:23]
And how you suffered for your sanity[00:03:27]
And how you tried to set them free[00:03:33]
They would not listen they're not listening still[00:03:36]
Perhaps they never will[00:03:47]
