'For My Lady ...'

My boat sails stormy seas,

Battles oceans filled with tears.

At last my port's in view -

Now that I've - discovered you.

 

Oh I'd give my life so lightly ...

For my gentle lady.

Give it freely and completely ...

To my lady.

 

As life goes drifting by ...

Like a breeze - she'll gently sigh ...

And slowly bow her head -

Then you'll hear her softly cry.

 

Oh I'd give my life so lightly ...

For my gentle lady.

Give it freely and completely ...

To my lady.

 

Words that you say when we're alone,

Though actions speak louder than words,

But all I can say is I love you so

To drive away all my hurt.

 

Oh I'd give my life so lightly

For my gentle lady.

Give it freely and completely

To my lady.

 

Set sail towards the sun ...

Feel the warmth that's just begun ...

Share each and every dream ...

They belong to everyone.

 

Oh I'd give my life so lightly ...

For my gentle lady.

Give it freely and completely ...

To my lady.

One of my favorite Moody Blues songs - 'For My Lady' - from the 'Seventh Sojourn' album ........ If you haven't heard it - do.

Purty Ken. I like the ones without the flowers but I suppose it wouldnt be the same with an empty vase.

 

 

...I know the song. Impeccable work... and it's enough to touch a heart!

wow...don't know the song, will find and listing to it next week! Excellent and extremely balanced pic...definitly love the red bullits!!

High, ofcourse I know the song, and have heard it, but isn't this a site about potography???? I will ponder this..... Oh and what I want to say, my special friend, I have this cd and nr 10 of cd 1 and off cd 2 DO HAVE SPECIAL TITLES, somehow I feel it has something to do with you. But Nights in white satin will always be MY favorite, take care cowboy and have fun.

 

About the picture, I could say a lott, but what I will say is what Janet did say, about the red in the picture, I like the contradiction between a red rose and the bullets.

Hey Wrangler,

Hard to follow the previous comments but what the heck here goes...ya know I like doing desats and selective coloring and you have done a marvelous job on this. Looks great and is a fitting tribute. Maybe the rose was picked on the way back home from a hard days work. It balances a cowboy's rough exterior with a soft spot. :-)

I am impressed by how you can do a series where a few things change from shot to shot so it isn't redundant and also each version stands so well on its own. I am not rating YET but will ;-}

This one looks rather more driven, compulsive. Prefer the 'Sunflowers' version but didn't Van Gogh ....hmm.

Moody Blues are one of my old time favourites...this is right back where you started Ken! lighting, set up have created such a subtle mood..all the details placed right...excellent!

ohh, this is Ken the romantic? Perfect song for this excellent pic:-)

Renny, Knicki, Janet and Els - thank you so much for stopping by and sharing ....

 

Colin - yours is the 2nd reference to Van Gogh I've had in this series - checking to see if I still have both ears - smile - thank you very much for stopping by my friend - very much ....

 

Delef my old friend - truley makes my day to have you stop by - thank you very much ... (-;

 

Paula - ha - yes there is a romantic side to this old Cowboy - glad you are familiar with the song - big smile ....

Great shot, Ken. The flower adds romanticism, the attributes give the cowboy flavour to it. Neat work, man!

Ken, talking about symbolism in that interesting composition, all ellement has a masculin appearance, a softer appearance is the rose, a feminin ellement? looks like, but when you look closer, it has thorns.... So I prefer the sunflowers....

 

I think the wording of blues was wtitten especially for you...cheer up cowboy friend!, Pnina

just checking if you're back... :0)

what a sentimental one you have here. Bitter sweet...how everything is gently faded except the rose and casings...I would choose the rose.

Hello *V* - I very much appreciate you stopping by - thank you ...

 

Pnina - I'm trying - I'm trying - (-; ...

 

Janet - special lady - thank you so much (-; ...

 

Kristin - glad you found one you like - thank you so much for taking the time - smile ...

The flower in the vase is wonderfully incongruous, Ken, and, since nothing happens by accident in your still lifes, I know that that is what you were trying for.
