Intro: riff 1
G#
The light was leaving in the west it was blue
C#
The children's laughter sang
G#
And skipping just like the stones they threw
C#
Their voices echoed across the way
D#7
It's getting late....
G# F# C#
And it was just another night
D#7 G#
With a sunset and a moonrise
F# C# D#7
Not too far behind to give us just enough light
G# F# C#
To lay down underneath the stars
D#7 G#
We listened to papa's translations
F# C#
Of the stories across the skies
D#7 G#
We drew our own constellations
solo
G#
The west winds often last too long
C#
And when they calm down, nothing ever feels the same
G#
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
C#
Waiting for the passing rain
G#
Clouds keep moving to uncover the sea
C#
Stars up above us chasing the day away
G#
To find the stories that we sometimes need
C#
Listen close enough and all else fades
D#7
Fades away
G# F# C#
And it was just another night
D#7 G#
With a sunset and a moonrise
F# C# D#7
Not so far behind to give us just enough light
G# F# C#
To lay down underneath the stars
D#7
Listen to all translations
G# F# C#
Of the stories across the sky
D#7
We drew our own constellations
