Fields Of Gold

Sting · Best of 25 Years [2011]

You'll remember me when the west wind moves

Upon the fields of barley

You forget the sun in his jealous sky

As we walk in 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

You forget the sun in his jealous sky

As we lie in 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 fields of gold, we'll walk in 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 fields of gold, when we walked in fields of gold

When we walked in fields of gold
