{intro}

In the chilly hours and minutes
C C F F
Of uncertainty, I want to be
C C F G C C G G
In the warm hold of your loving mind
C C F F
To feel you all around me
C C F F
And to take your hand along the sand
C C F G C F C C
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, 'twould make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

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 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
