The Night I Painted The Sky

I came from the north

Escaping convention

Modern invention that won't let me be

To the shores of st. martin

With my fiction addiction

To restart the fire

A dreamer's remedy



Independence day

And all i remember

Was a midnight rainbow

That fell from the sky

As i stand on the beach

I slowly surrender

To the child in me

That can't say goodbye



The rockets in the air

And the people everywhere

Put away their differences for a while

Oh i am still a child

When it comes to something wild

Oh that was the night

I painted the sky



I dug in the sand

Like a boy on a mission

And there in my hands

A pyro's delight



If un bombadier

A night time magician

I sparked the sky

As the rockets fly from view



The rockets in the air

And the people everywhere

Put away their differences for a while

Es i am still a child

When it comes to something wild

Oh that was the night

I painted the sky



Oh the mortars they roar

In anticipation

Proceeding the sigh

Of the uplifted eyes

It showers us all

In sulfuric sensation

The colors shine

And a fiery rhyme tonight



The rockets in the air (ooooh...)

And the people everywhere

Won't you put away your differences for a while

I am but a child

When it comes to something wild

Oh that was the night

That was the night

Oh that was the night

I painted the sky

Painted the sky

Painted the sky
