JACK JOHNSON lyrics : "Constellations"

The light was leaving
In the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang

And skipping just like the stones they threw
Their voices echoed across the way
Its getting late


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

Listen to papas translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations


The west winds often last too long
The wind may calm down

Nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Waiting for the passing rain

Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene
Stars above us chasing the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need

Listen close enough
All else fades
Fades away


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

Listen to all the translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
