Vincent - Don McLean

這首歌,是從一部電視劇裏得知的。不知道爲什麽,自從聼了這首歌,每次感到傷心流淚時,這首歌,總會在耳邊慢慢的響起。然而,也把自己的心情變成更低落。不知道這代表了什麽。。。

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 colours on the snowy linen land

And 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 Vincent's eyes of China blue
Colours changing hue morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand

And 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

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 bloody rose lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

And 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 would not listen they're not listening still perhaps they never will.
