1. V I N C E N T VAN GOGH (1853-1890)
2. Starry, Starry night paint your palette blue and grey
3. look out on a summer's day
4. with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Shadows on the
hills,
5. sketch the trees and the daffodils, catch the breeze and the
winter chills
6. in colors on the snowy linen land. And now I understand
7. what you tried to say to me
8. how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them
free. They would not listen, they did not know how
9. perhaps they'll listen now.
10. Starry, starry night flaming flowers that brightly
blaze
11. swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of

stranger that you've met
25. the ragged men in ragged clothes
26. the silver thorn of bloddy rose lie crushed and broken on
the virgin snow.
27. And now I think I know what you tried to say to me how you
suffered for your sanity
28. how you tried to set them free. They would not listen,
they're not list'ning still...
