Pussy Willow

(Performed by Jethro Tull)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWavcYCKwcA

In the half-tone light of a young morning
she sighs and shifts on the pillow.
And across her face dancing, the first shadows fly
to kiss the Pussy Willow.

In her fairy-tale world she's a lost soul singing
in a sad voice nobody hears.
She waits in her castle of make-believing
for her white knight to appear.

Pusy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
Runs for the train --- see, eight o'clock's coming
cutting dreams down to size again.

Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming
cutting dreams down to size again.

She longs for the East and a pale dress flowing
an apartment in old Mayfair.
Or to fish the Spey, spinning the first run of Spring
or to die for a cause somewhere.

Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming
cutting dreams down to size again.

Stunning close-up, I can see the softness! Great song too, definitely some gritty truth in those lyrics ;o)

The signs of spring, not here yet. we will not see this for at least two more months V

Exceptionally sharp and lovely bokeh! Amazing to think that Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull front man) has short hair and looks quite middles class now - he's just been given an MBE by the queen in the New Year's honours list. He's a photography nut and collects old Leica cameras. He'd probably love your photo Jola!! Vote

Already? Great to see! In our parts, it will take another month or two to see this wonder :) V
