Jimmy Buffett - The Night I Painted the Sky lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - The Night I Painted the Sky lyrics]
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
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
Yes, 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
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
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
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
Yes, 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
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
