Intro: riff 1
G#5
The light was leaving in the west it was blue
C#5
The children's laughter sang
G#5
And skipping just like the stones they threw
C#5
Their voices echoed across the way
D#5
It's getting late....
G#5 F#5 C#5
And it was just another night
D#5 G#5
With a sunset and a moonrise
F#5 C#5 D#5
Not too far behind to give us just enough light
G#5 F#5 C#5
To lay down underneath the stars
D#5 G#5
We listened to papa's translations
F#5 C#5
Of the stories across the skies
D#5 G#5
We drew our own constellations
solo
G#5
The west winds often last too long
C#5
And when they calm down, nothing ever feels the same
G#5
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
C#5
Waiting for the passing rain
G#5
Clouds keep moving to uncover the sea
C#5
Stars up above us chasing the day away
G#5
To find the stories that we sometimes need
C#5
Listen close enough and all else fades
D#5
Fades away
G#5 F#5 C#5
And it was just another night
D#5 G#5
With a sunset and a moonrise
F#5 C#5 D#5
Not so far behind to give us just enough light
G#5 F#5 C#5
To lay down underneath the stars
D#5
Listen to all translations
G#5 F#5 C#5
Of the stories across the sky
D#5
We drew our own constellations
