Catch the Wind
Embracing Uncertainty: Catch the Wind's Poetic Tale of Love and Longing
Lyrics
In the chilly hours and minutes
Describing a moment of uncertainty and longing
Of uncertainty, I want to be
Expressing a desire to be with someone
In the warm hold of your loving mind
Seeking comfort and security in the affection of the person
To feel you all around me
Wanting the person's presence all around
And to take your hand along the sand
Imagining a romantic, intimate moment with the person
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Expressing the difficulty of achieving an impossible task (comparing it to catching the wind)
When sundown pales the sky
Referencing the approach of evening
I want to hide a while behind your smile
Desiring solace in the warmth of the person's smile
And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find
Feeling the constant presence of the person's gaze
For me to love you now
Expressing the intensity of the desire to love
Would be the sweetest thing 'twould make me sing
Highlighting the joy and beauty in loving the person
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Reiterating the impossibility of achieving something (loving) as difficult as catching the wind
Di di di di, di di di di
Repetitive vocalization, possibly conveying frustration or emphasis on the impossibility
Di di di di, di di di di
-Di di di
-When rain has hung the leaves with tears
Using rain and leaves as metaphors for sadness and seeking comfort in the person's presence
I want you near to kill my fears
Desiring the person's closeness to alleviate fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
Wishing to move away from sadness with the person's support
For standin' in your heart
Expressing the desire to be emotionally present in the person's heart
Is where I want to be and long to be
Longing to stay and be emotionally connected with the person
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Reiterating the impossibility of achieving an elusive goal (being in the person's heart)
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Repeating the sentiment of trying despite the futility
