sonnerie téléphone portable pour The night i painted the sky
Video clip

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

Rockets in the air and the people everywhere
Put away their differences for a while
Yes 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 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
