Fame Academy Vincent Lyrics

Vincent Lyrics

Starry Starry night,

Paint your pallette blue and grey,

Look out on
a summers day,

with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.

Shadows
on the hills,

sketch the trees and the daffodils

Catch the breeze
and the winter chills, the colours on the snowy linen line



(Chorus)

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'll listen
now.



Starry Starry night

flaming flowers that brightly
blaze

swirling clouds in violet haze

reflect in Vincents eyes of
china blue

Colours changing hue

morning fields of amber grain

weathered faces, lined in pain,

are soothed beneath the artists loving
hand



(chorus)



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 hang 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 of a bloody rose

Lie
crushed and broken on the virgin snow



Now I think i know,

what you tried to say to me

and how you suffered for your sanity

and how you tried to set them free

They did not listen they're not
listening still.

Perhaps they never will.....
