Donovan Anecdote: 
In The 80s - I Played In A Weekend Pick-Up Softball Game 
At Fairfax High In Hollywood
With Donovan's Son... Dono  
And Yes, It Was Weird Playing Ball 
With The Son Of A Hero
But Dude Was 8 Years Younger Than I 
And Had A Quick Bat
I Pitched A Lot - I Didn't Like Guys With Adjustable Swings
You Could Fool Them & They Could Still Recover
Dono Could Hit My Pitching

Below Are The Proper Words...

CATCH THE WIND

In The Chilly Hours & Minutes
Of Uncertainty, I Want To Be
In The Warm Hold Of Your Loving Mind
To Feel You All Around Me
And To Take Your Hand, 
Along The Sand
Ah, But I May As Well Try & 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
That would 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 standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be, and I 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

Donovan Leitch

CATCH THE WIND

Music, songwriting, musical arranging, producing and recording by Michael Kucsmas.

Not a lick of any artificial mumbo jumbo here..

There's No-Fi - Like Lo-Fi
Some 'Sound' Advice 
I've Been Writing & Recording Songs 
Since I Was 14 In 1964
When I Began 
I Couldn't Read Or Write Music
So In Order To Remember It 
I Had To Record It... 
In The 60's, It Was On A Reel-To-Reel 
By The Late '70s, I Realized 
I Had To Be My Own Favorite Artist  
And Keep Track Of The Songs I'd Written 
To Keep Me Company In My Old Age
So - This Is A Musical Diary Of My Life 
For The Last 60 Years
By Clicking "Playlists" 
You Can Follow A Progression
By The Decades
