Constellations

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


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


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


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