Constellations

A
The light was leaving and the west it was blue
D
The children's laughter sang
A
And skipping just like the stones they threw
D
Their voices echoed across the way
E    
It's getting late


A      G           D
It was just another night
       E
With a sunset
      A        G         D
And a moonrise not so far behind
            E
To give us just enough light
    A        G             D
To lay down underneath the stars
         E
Listen to papa's translations
A       G                D
Of the stories across the sky
             E
We drew our own constellations


A
The west winds often last too long
D
The wind may calm down nothing ever feels the same
A
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
D
Waiting for the passing rain
A
Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene
D
Stars above us chasing the day away
A
To find the stories that we sometimes need
D
Listen close enough
E    
All else fades, fades away


A      G           D
It was just another night
       E
With a sunset
      A        G         D
And a moonrise not so far behind
            E
To give us just enough light
    A        G             D
To lay down underneath the stars
         E
Listen to papa's translations
A       G                D
Of the stories across the sky
             E
