Catch The Wind -- Donovan

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 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,
T'would make me sing Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

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.
Standing in your heart Is where I want to be And long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Donovan said: "'Catch The Wind,' I wrote it for Linda (Lawrence, who he married in 1970), although I hadn't really met her yet. It is a song of unrequited love, yet I hadn't really met her, so how could I miss her? And I seem to write prophetic songs in the sense of the Celtic poet and I wrote this song before I met Linda, of a love I would like to have had and lost."
