Constellations

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


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


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


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