Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The light was leavin', in the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang
And skipping just like the stones that they threw
Their voices echoed across the waves, it's gettin' late
[Verse 2]
And it was just another night with a sunset and a
Moonrise not so far behind, to give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars and listen to papa's translations
Of the stories across the sky, we drew our own constellations
[Verse 3]
The west winds often last too long
And when they calm down, nothin' ever feels the same
Sheltered under the kamani tree, waitin' for the passin' rain
[Verse 4]
Clouds keep movin' to uncover the sea
Stars above us, chasin' the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
And listen close enough when all else fades, fades away
[Verse 5]
And it was just another night with a sunset and a
Moonrise, not so far behind, to give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars and listen to all the translations
Of the stories across the sky, we drew our own constellations
