Musical Sunday

The news has been so unrelievedly bad of late that I need to hear some beautiful music to take my mind off of it. This has been in my collection for a long time, and I think it's one of the most touchingly beautiful songs I've ever heard ...

Here are 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 fields of gold

So she took her love

For to gaze a while

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?

Upon 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

Do you have someone to love and remember when the west wind moves among the fields of barley? I hope so. I do, and it makes all the difference.

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
