W 24 Starry Starry Night
(SCA Version)
Lady Christine the Good - A.S.35
Sung To The Tune Of Starry Starry Night by Don McLean
Starry starry night,
The battles over and here they lay
Surrounded by a fog so gray
With eyes that stare out dull and vacantly
Peasants on the hills
Hiding from the brutal kills
That stains land red with blood that spills
In colors on the snowy beaten land
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your family
How you tried to make them see
They would not listen they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry starry night
Flaming towers that brightly blaze
Screaming chorus in smoky haze
Reflect in victim's eyes of frozen tears
Children full of fear
Morning brings just the same
Weathered faces lined in pain
Try to soothe the ones who can't forget
Starry starry night
Enemies in our own halls
Severed heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the rebels that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The hopeless battle against our foes
Leaves us crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your family
How you tried to make them see
They did not listen they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
