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
