The Night I Painted the Sky - Jimmy Buffett

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
