Fields of Gold Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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 fiеlds of gold

[Refrain]
I never made promisеs 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
[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
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

[Interlude]
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
'Pon 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
