Jack Johnson - Constellations - live at bonnaroo, manchester, tennessee/2008 lyrics

The light was leaving in the west it was blue The children's laughter sang Skipping just like the stones they threw Their voices echoed across the waves It's 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 We listened to Papa's translations Of the stories across the sky We drew our own constellations The west winds often last too long And when they calm down Nothing ever feels the same Sheltered under the Kamani tree Waiting for the pa**ing rain Clouds keep moving to uncover the sea Of stars up above us chasing the day away A way to find the stories that we sometimes need Listen close enough and 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 translations Of the stories across the sky We drew our own constellations
