Catch The Wind (1965)
Context: 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.
John Skelton (1460–1529) English poet
To Mistress Margaret Hussey, lines 26-34, probably published c. 1511, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
