The Night I Painted The Sky Lyrics by 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

    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
