Look out on a summers day with eyes

In colors on the snowy linen land

B F# G#m C#7 F# D#m
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
G#m7
How you suffered for you sanity
C#7 D#m
How you tried to set them free

They would not listen the did not know how
C#7 F#
Perhaps they ʼll listen now
F# G#m
Starry starry nite flamings flowrʼs that brightly blaze
B C#7
Swirling coulds in violet haze reflect

In VIncents eyes of china blue

Weatherd faces lined inpain
C#7 F#
Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand

B C#7 F#
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
F# G#m
Starry starry nite portraits hung in empty halls
B C#7
frameless heads on nameless walls with iʼs

the strangers that youve met, the ragged men
B
In ragged clothes the silver thorn the bloody rose
C#7 F#
Lire crushed and broken on the virgin snow
