Sting - Fields Of Gold - A song that has over 20 interpretations of different artists

Sting - Fields Of Gold

I do have to make a confession here, Sting is indeed an artist that can really set my mind and ease and I truly respect him for that. Fields Of Gold is one of his early singles that has influenced a lot of people, but unfortunately did not reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This was one of the most powerful existential songs of 1993. The song was also re-recorder as a bonus track to the 2006 album Songs from the Labyrinth.

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 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 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.
