Landscape with Snow 1888 |
| 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 |
Sunflowers 1888 |
| Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand |
Vincent van Gogh Self Portrait1889 |
| Now I understand
What you tried to say to me They did not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night |
Potato Eaters c1885 |
| 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 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 |
Portrait of Dr. Gachet c1890 |
| Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow |
Room in Arles 1889 (Holland Version) |
| Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They did not listen they're not listening still Perhaps they never will... |
