I like the night, so dark you see
F C/G
You can hide, if you please
G
Take a ship to foreign seas
F ~ ~ C/G
If the winds are moving right
G Am
I like the day, because it's mine
F C/G
To make a rhyme and time to time
G
You have been a friend of mine
F ~ ~ C/G F
Got my head up, feeling right
CHORUS:
G Em Am F
Slow down diminishing winds
G Em Am F
One by one the storms took away my friends

I tried hard, but I didn't hear anything, anything

You'll catch cold in those old clothes in these diminishing winds

G Am
I like the rain, if I'm inside
F
Quinine and limes to buy
C/G G
I'll rise like an ocean tide
F ~ ~ C/G
With the moon up flying high
G
I like the sun, it's clear to see
Am F
There's blue it's true, but there's room for me
C/G G
No line between love and company
F ~ ~ C/G F
That we never seemed to mind
CHORUS:
G Em Am F
One more one-way sign to do

Don't you let the bitter get the better of you

The answer, my friend, is gone again

You'll catch cold in those old clothes in these diminishing winds

The Milky Way, the Pleiades
