Lyrics
The light was leav ing; in the west it was blue.
The (Csus2)chil dren’s laugh ter sang, skip ping just like the stones they threw.
Their (Csus2)voic es ech oed a cross the waves.
It’s get ting late.
(G)It was (F)just an oth er night with the sun set and a (G)moon rise (F)not so far be hind to give us just e nough light to (G)lay down (F)un der neath the stars, lis ten to Pa pa’s trans la tions (G)of the (F)sto ries a cross the sky.
We drew our own con stel la tions.
The west winds of ten last too long, and (Csus2)when thay calm down, noth ing ev er feels the same.
Shel tered un der the Ka ma ni tree, (Csus2)wait ing for the pass ing rain.
Clouds keep mov ing to un cov er the sea of (Csus2)stars a bove us, chas ing the day a way to find the sto ries that we some times need.
(Csus2)Lis ten close e nough, all else (C)fades,
fades a (D)way.
