Catch The Wind



'Catch the Wind' written and performed by Donovan. 

A song which is a little before my time and not to everyone's taste... but with such sweet lyrics, they read like poetry, they are poignant and touch me on a personal level at this present time in my life...♥

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I want to be
In the warm hold of your lovin' 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 wind.

Diddy di dee dee diddy diddy,
Diddy diddy diddy dee dee dee.

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 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.

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

Thank you dear Shweta , yes, the song is beautiful, the lyrics are so lovely. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it. I am alright thanks, nothing in my life really changes, I guess I am always trying to catch the wind or learning how to dance in the rain.
I hope all will be alright with your life soon, it can be a struggle sometimes, not everything falls into place as we would wish.
Take care.
Love Dianne.

No thanks. I already have one outstanding warrant for catching a wind without a permit.

dianne said...

Leovi dear friend, thank you, yes, wonderful words and music, I enjoy many of Donovan's songs.
Besos

dianne said...

Juan mi querido amigo, usted me entiende y por lo que han publicado esta canción, sí, la canción es hermosa, pero triste, que describe mi anhelo de alguien que no comparte mis sentimientos y nunca lo hará ... yo tendría más posibilidades de contraer la viento.
Un fuerte abrazo
xoxoxo ♡

dianne said...

Thank you momto8 , for your comment, I am pleased that you enjoyed these words.

Olga said...

Thank you for these beautiful words, which weave into sentences and create so many beautiful feelings.

dianne said...

Oh Pugsly my sweet I am sorry to hear that, I thought the wind was free to everyone, no permit required.
It is lovely to have you visit again.
xoxoxo ♡

dianne said...

Thank you Olga dear, yes they are beautiful words, they do evoke beautiful feelings but also those of sadness as his hope for the love that he seeks seems futile.
xoxoxo ♡

JUAN FUENTES said...

Amiga Dianne.Con tu imaginación te puedes pasear por la fotografia,y aspirar el olor de la flores silvestre,te aseguro que si consigue hacerlo,tus sentidos te lo agradeceran.
Un fuerte abrazo

dianne said...

Juan querido amigo, gracias, mi imaginación me puede llevar a muchos lugares. Yo he ido a través de prados verdes, bajo un cielo tan azul. calentado por el sol ... y los bendijo con la fragancia de las hierbas de prado y el dulce aroma de flores silvestres.
Un fuerte abrazo
xoxoxo ♡

JUAN FUENTES said...

Amiga Dianne.Tu contestación a mi nota,és pura poesia.

dianne said...

Thank you dear Leovi , uncertainty comes from not being loved and in difficult times being loved would help.
Besos
xoxoxo ♡

dianne said...

Thank you dear Betty , yes Donovan has composed a beautiful song, his words read like poetry...yes some sadness there, 'try and catch the wind' is symbolic of the futility he feels in trying to secure the love that he seeks.

big hugs

Thank you dear Leovi , yes sometimes we just have to stop trying and let go of our dreams or we will be trapped by our attempt to catch the wind, speaking metaphorically of course.
