Fireworks - Kate Walsh

It’s that time of year again

I think I’ll stay in tonight

My dogs are barking

Shaking scared

We don’t light fireworks in this house

I hate the way they shoot and sparkle

It reminds me of a time I often clung to

And when I see the Catherine wheel turn

It only leaves me with heartburn

Cause it’s the 5th of November

It’s the 5th of November

It’s the 5th and these fireworks make me blue

Cause it’s the 5th of November

It’s the 5th of November

It’s the 5th and I remember rain

It’s cold out there

The grass is wet

And I don’t care for muddy in my shoes

I can see them from the window

See them if I want to

Leave me here with arms that I can cling to

Children getting louder and louder

May you roll around the sky like thunder

And later all my friends will come to tell me

About amazing fireworks they’ve seen

Cause it’s the 5th of November

It’s the 5th of November

It’s the 5th and these fireworks make me blue

Cause it’s the 5th of November

It’s the 5th of November

It’s the 5th and I remember rain
