Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In the chilly hours and minutes

Of uncertainty, I want to be

In the warm hold of your loving mind

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

When sundown pales the sky

I want to hide a while, behind your smile

And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

Dee-dee-dee-dee

Dee-dee-dee-dee

Dee-dee-dee-dee

Dee-dee-dee-dee

Dee-dee-dee

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

For 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

[Verse 8]

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