Catch the Wind
Written by Donovan 1970
1
In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
To feel you all around me, and to take your hand along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
2
When sundown pales the sky, I want to hide a while behind your smile
And everywhere I’d look, your eyes I’d find
For me to love you now would be the sweetest thing, ‘twould make me sing
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind
3
When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near, to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
For standin’ in your heart is where I want to be, I long to be
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
