Intro: Riff
Ab
The light was leaving in the west it was blue
DbAb
The children's laughter sang
And skipping just like the stones they threw
DbDb
Their voices echoed across the way
Eb7
It's getting late....
AbGbDb
And it was just another night
Eb7Ab
With a sunset and a moonrise
GbDbEb7
Not so far behind to give us just enough light
AbGbDb
To lay down underneath the stars
Eb7Ab
We listened to papa's translations
GbDb
Of the stories across the skies
Eb7Ab
We drew our own constellations

Ab
The west winds often last too long
Db
And when they calm down, nothing ever
Ab
feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
DbAb
Waiting for the passing rain
Clouds keep moving to uncover the sea
DbAb
Stars up above us chasing the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
Db
Listen close enough and all else fades
Eb7
Fades away
