Constellations

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


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


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


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