Their on-and-off relationship lasted about seven years and Donovan’s confused feelings about her inspired dozens of songs, including “Catch The Wind”, “Legend Of A Girl Child Linda”, and “Season Of The Witch”.

Donovan’s Season of the Witch
transcribed by Twitch from the Sunshine Superman album, 1966
—–
When I look out my window, Many sights to see.
And when I look in my window, So many different people to be
That it’s strange, so strange. You’ve got to pick up every stitch,
You’ve got to pick up every stitch, You’ve got to pick up every stitch
(Chorus)
Mm-mm, must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch, yeah,
Must be the season of the witch.
When I look over my shoulder, What do you think I see ?
Some other cat looking over his shoulder at me -
And he’s strange, sure he’s strange. You’ve got to pick up every stitch,
You’ve got to pick up every stitch, Beatniks out to make it rich…
Oh no, must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch, yeah,
Must be the season of the witch.
You’ve got to pick up every stitch,
The rabbits running in the ditch,
Beatniks are out to make it rich…
(Chorus)
Oh no, must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch.
When I look. When I look out my window,
What do you think I see ? And when I look in my window,
So many different people to be. It’s strange, sure it’s strange.
You’ve got to pick up every stitch, You’ve got to pick up every stitch, The rabbits running in the ditch.
(Chorus…and out)
Oh no, must be the season of the witch, Must be the season of the witch, yeah,
