Constellations lyrics

The light was leaving and the west, it was blue

The children's laughter sang,

Skipping just like the stones they threw

Their voices echoed across the ways

It's gettin' late

And it was just another night 

With the sunset and

A moonrise not so far behind

To give us just enough light

To lay down underneath the stars 

Listenin' to Papa's translations 

Of the stories across the sky

We drew our own constellations

The west winds often last too long

But when they calm down, 

Nothin' ever feels the same

Sheltered under the kamani tree, 

Waiting for the passing rain

Clouds keep movin' to uncover the sea

Stars above us chasing the day away

To find the stories that we sometimes need

Listen close enough, all else fades

Fades away

And it was just another night 

With the sunset and

A moonrise not so far behind

To give us just enough light

To lay down underneath the stars 

Listenin' to all the translations 

Of the stories across the sky

We drew our own constellations
