Verse 1
[G]The light was leaving and the west[|][G] it was blue
The [|][C]children's [|][C]laughter saying they're [|][G]skipping just like the 
[|][G]stones they threw. The [|][C]voices [|][C]echoed across the [|][C]waves, [|]
[C]it's getting [|][D]late[|][D]

Chorus
[|][G]It was [|][F]just another [|][C]night with the sun[|][D]set and
The [|][G]moon rise [|][F]not so far [|][C]behind
To give us just [|][D]enough light
To [|][G]lay down [|][F]underneath the [|][C]stars listening to
[|][D]Papa's translations [|][G]of the [|][F]stories across the [|][C]sky, we drew our [|][D]own constellations

Interlude (Pick 4,4,3,1&2,4)

Verse 2
[|][G]The west winds often [|][G]last too long
But [|][C]when they come down [|][C]nothing ever feels the [|][G]same
Sheltered under the [|][G]Kamani tree [|][C]waiting for the [|][C]passing [|][G]rain
Clouds keep moving to [|][G]uncover the sea
[|][C]Stars above us [|][C]chasing the day a[|][G]way
To find the stories that we [|][G]sometimes need
[|][C]Listen close e[|][C]nough all else [|][C]fades[|]
[C]Fades a[|][D]way[|][D][|]

Chorus
[|][G]It was [|][F]just another [|][C]night with the sun[|][D]set and
The [|][G]moon rise [|][F]not so far [|][C]behind
To give us just [|][D]enough light
To [|][G]lay down [|][F]underneath the [|][C]stars listening to
[|][D]Papa's translations [|][G]of the [|][F]stories across the [|][C]sky, we drew our [|][D]own constellations
