Constellations

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


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


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


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