Lyrics for The Night I Painted The Sky by Jimmy Buffett:
| | | Artist: | Jimmy Buffett |
| | Album: | Barometer Soup | | Track: | The Night I Painted The Sky | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 76 | | | | Lyrics: | Verse
I came from the north escaping convention
The modern invention that won't let me
be
To the shores of St. Maarten with my fiction addiction
To restart the fire a dreamer's
remedy
Verse
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 who can't
say good-bye
Chorus
The rockets in the air
And the people everywhere
Put
away their differences for awhile
Oh I am still a child when it comes to something
wild
That was the night I painted the sky
Verse
I dug in the sand like a boy on
a mission
And there in my hands a pyro's delight
A bombardier, a nighttime magician
I
spark the sky as the rockets fly from view
Chorus
The rockets in the air
And
the people everywhere
Put away all their differences for awhile
I am still a child when it
comes to something wild
That was the night I painted the sky
Verse
Oh the
martars they roar in anticpation
Preceding the sigh of the uplifted eyes
It showers us all
in sulfuric sensation
The colors shine in a fiery rhyme tonight
Chorus
The
rockets in the air
And the people everywhere
Put away their 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 (x2 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
