Constellations

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


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


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


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