Catch The Wind Lyrics
In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I wanna be
In the warmhold 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.
When sundown pales the sky
I wanna 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.
Diddy da da la da da da da da
Ya da da, da da, la da.
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 standing in your heart
Is where I wanna be
And I 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
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind
Of uncertainty
I wanna be
In the warmhold of your Loving mind.
And to take your hand
Along the sand,
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind.
I wanna hide a while
Behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.
Would be the sweetest thing,
'T would make me sing,
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind.
Ya da da, da da, la da.
I want you near
To kill my fears,
To help me to leave all my blues behind.
Is where I wanna be
And I 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
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind

I hit rock bottom with this song and "The River" (the boss). Cried for hours-- it's about the longing. The intense love and wanting of that one special person...and not being able to have them...

one of the best songs ever about unrequited love.
This song is so utterly sad. Reading the previous posts, to me it is more about a love lost rather than unrequited love - a love lost through a death of a partner maybe. The lyrics describe the emptiness and hurt of this all so well.
This song is great. I used it in a little video I did of my two daughters. I can feel this song being about trying to hold on to their youth for my own sake, and how years from now I will be missing we are emotionally now, while our whole worlds are just each other.
That's about the most tragic and sweet thing I've ever read on this site.

a beautiful song. so bloody sad though. love lost, love rejected, or quite possibly, love never realized by the woman.
Both versions of this song are incredible. The lyrics kill me. I always took it as a guy professing his love to a girl for the last time. Kinda saying, "Listen, I've told you a million times how much I love you. I'll describe it one last time. If you don't get it then I am finally gonna leave (catch the wind....and blow out of your life.)"
Dude... No.
"Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind" is a phrase designed to portray the futility of his hopes and dreams with regard to the object of his desires — presumably a girl.
He's just being poetic about the romance he's seeking, but he keeps reaching the same conclusion: "Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind". Catch the wind. The wind takes quite some catching, there, buddy. It's like saying, "Ah, but I may as well try and lose my shadow".
Back to the real world, in other words.

It's unfortunate that your astute comments will be disregarded merely because you are perceived as a condescending cunt.

The version on greatest hits is far superior to the original and live is also great.
