Lyrics: Jack Johnson
Music: Jack Johnson
Well I can dedicate this amount of echo here tonight because emm…
A lot of camping trips with my dad and him…
And this is a…
A song I wrote while sitting under underneath the stars
And looking up at the moon…
And just looking at the constellations
And talking about the night sky and
Just having a good old time camping around in Hawaii so…
~
Sing it baby
~
The light was leaving in the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang
And skipping just like the stones they threw
The voices echoed across the way
It's getting late
It was just another night
With the sun set
And the moon rise 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
~
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 are 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 the sun set
And the moon rise 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
