a song that meant so much to someone



Good luck to those who are sitting for their mid-term thingy. Say good bye to your sweet sweet, blissful one-week-holiday. Wake up from that dream, rise from your slumber - life is ready to smack your face. With a 9am paper coming, I doubt you will read this before your paper but it doesn't matter now, does it? So many hours in between 9am and 8pm. In that period of time, would you wish me luck and pray for me as I would for you? My innocence can never last.

STEF UPDATED HER BLOG!! *DING* *DING*


Oh paper on Monday and Wednesday~ Why didn't you appear before the holiday? Why did you take my summer away? Like a withered leaf I crumble and fall. Wishing good bye as I lean on the wall. Wishing the best, I left a call. Writing and singing, like an artist in the rain. I dance amidst the drops of water and paint. Paint the beauty before me. Paint the beauty that my eyes can see. Paint you? Yes, you. I stand in the rain but the rain will not wet me. I sing but the voices fails me. Why, oh why do I take my nap? Oh paper on Monday and Wednesday~ You make me write like crap.


Don Mclean
Starry Starry Night

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
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
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

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 field of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
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 head on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in the ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

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 would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
