CATCH THE WIND
As sung by Donovan on his single and on his 1965 album "What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid" (UK title) a.k.a. "Catch the Wind" (US title)*

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your lovin' 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.

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.

Dee dee dee dee [etc.]

When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near to kill my fears, (to quell my fear ??)
To help me to leave all my blues behind.
Standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be, and long to be;
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.


[* Actually, the album version was a bit different; it was longer and contained a longer harmonica/guitar instrumental break, but the lyrics are the same.]
