This document is a transcription of the lyrics to the song "Starry Starry Night" by Don McLean, which tells the story of painter Vincent Van Gogh's life and death through poetic imagery and references to his artwork. The summary describes Van Gogh's struggle with mental illness and how he tried to express himself through his paintings, but was not understood by others during his lifetime. It recounts how he ultimately took his own life at a young age.

2. Starry, Starry night paint your palette blue and grey

3. look out on a summer's day

4. with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Shadows on the hills,

5. sketch the trees and the daffodils, catch the breeze and the winter chills

6. in colors on the snowy linen land. And now I understand

7. what you tried to say to me

8. how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how

9. perhaps they'll listen now.

10. Starry, starry night flaming flowers that brightly blaze

11. swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.

12. Colors changing hue

13. morning fields of amber grain

14. weathered faces lined in pain

15. are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. And now I understand

16. what you tried to say to me how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free.

17. perhaps they'll listen now. They would not listen, they did not know how

18. For they could not love you

19. but still your love was true and when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night.

20. 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.

21. Starry, starry night

22. portraits hung in empty halls

23. frameless heads on nameless walls

24. with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the stranger that you've met

25. the ragged men in ragged clothes

26. the silver thorn of bloddy rose lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

27. And now I think I know what you tried to say to me how you suffered for your sanity

28. how you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they're not list'ning still...

29. perhaps they never will.
