Lyrics

The light was leav ing; in the west it was blue.

The (Csus2)chil

ter sang, skip ping just like the stones they threw.

Their (Csus2)voic

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 they 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.
