Letra de The night i painted the sky

Verse
i came from the north escaping convention
the modern invention thatwon'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 bombadier, 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 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 mortars they roar in anticipation
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 awhile
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
