Fields of Gold…
All this farm talk has me feelin’ sentimental for an old favorite song. Beit sung by Sting or Eva Cassidy, it’s a great one. Here’s the lyrics:
You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I’ve broken
But I swear in the days still left
We’ll walk in the fields of gold
We’ll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

Beautiful song! For some reason, the song and video brought to mind an older couple remembering their youthful passion and savoring their time together. Especially the lines, “many years have passed, and “see the children run,” gave me visions of grandparents holding hands, remembering, watching their children’s children run and play.
Guess I have a sentimental bent hidden in me somewhere. =)

I always think of the same thing. It’s that “time is golden” looking-back warmth that gets me in the gut every time I hear this song…

Fields of Gold
We all can live in that same fields of Gold.
It isn’t a dream, or a vision.
There’s no need for looking back.
There is no future and no past.
Just the moment your in.
Everything is alive in the brain and in your heart.
Keep your love for eachother alive!
Thank you Sting for sharing your Love this way.
