Vincent Lyrics - 45 Or 46 Songs That Weren't Good Enough To Go On Our Other Records - Nofx

Starry, starry 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'll listen now.

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 strangers that you've met 

The ragged men in ragged clothes 

The silver thorn, 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 would not listen; they're not listening still -- 

Perhaps they never will. 

Photos 

For they could not love you 

But still, your love was true 

And when no hope was left inside 

On that starry, starry night 

You took your life as lovers often do -- 

But I could've told you, Vincent: 

This world was never meant 

For one as beautiful as you.
