DONOVAN : "CATCH THE WIND"
WMCF
by Donovan in the 60's? I need the first verse and the first two lines of
the second verse.
I'll be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance.

Here's the whole thing as I learned it.

CATCH THE WIND by Donovan
In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty
I long 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.
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 sind
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 you heart is where I want to be and long to be
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

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 a stand 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...
Played using C, F, G shapes but:
KEEP YOUR PINKY DOWN ON THE TOP G! (or capo + 3 on top e string)
Hope this helps...

Another entry (before I saw Bev's response). I listened to an old tape I
made (in April, '65) and tried to jot down the words as best I could
understand them. I get:
"In the chilly autumn mist of uncertainty, I want to be,
In the warm hold of your love and mine.
To feel you all around me, and to take your hand along the sand,
I promise: we'll try and catch the wind.
When sundown pales the sky, I want to hide a while behind your smile,
And everywhere I look, your eyes I'll find;
For me to love you now would be the sweetest thing; 'twould make me sing,
I promise: we'll try and catch the wind."
Similar, but not identical. No guarantee as to accuracy. Another Donovan
hit from the same year was "Colours."
