Catch The Wind Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kurtin

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.

@Kurtin

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

@Kurtin presumably a girl? no i think it was a cow
