Lyrics
We're creatures of the EquinoxC F. GAmBb F. You know we balance light and shade creatures of the EquinoxC F. GAmG Life's one harmonious parade That's the way I like to rememberAm GFBb DmG You can leave your extremes to June and December Just like the equinoxC F. GAmBb F. We maintain our yang and yin A pair of forget me notsC F. GAmG Let our joyous duo sing Our own sweet songBb F. GG G7Am So nothing can go wrong at the equinox instrumental We're creatures of the Equinox The highs and lows they balance on the scale creatures of the Equinox take our share of all that life avails unperturbed by the phases of the moon You can leave your extremes to December and Jne We're creatures of the Equinox Keep the wind from jibing in our sails Just like the equinox Peace and tranquillity prevails Like so many before we've had our ups and downsBb F G G But while the highs were pretty highBb F. GG7Am The lows were rarely more than frowns Like the equinox Slow and end F G C Like the equinox
