Look out on a summers day with eyes

Tha know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on hills sketch the tress and daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chill
D#7 G#
In colors on the snowy linen land
Chorus:
C# G# A#m D#7 G# Fm
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
A#m7
How you suffered for you sanity

They would not listen the did not know how
D#7 G#
Perhaps they ʼll listen now
G# A#m
Starry starry nite flamings flowrʼs that brightly blaze
C# D#7
Swirling coulds in violet haze reflect
G#
In VIncents eyes of china blue
A#m
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber graing
C#
Weatherd faces lined inpain
D#7 G#
Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand

C# G# A#m D#7 G# Fm
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
A#m7
How you suffered for you sanity

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
G# A#m
Starry starry nite portraits hung in empty halls
C# D#7
frameless heads on nameless walls with iʼs
G#
That watch the world and cant forget like
A#m
the strangers that youve met, the ragged men
C#
In ragged clothes the silver thorn the bloody rose
D#7 G#
Lire crushed and broken on the virgin snow

A#m7 D#7
Perhaps they never will
