fields of gold

remember the sting song? making this photo caused me to think of it. such sensuous words, i have always had a strong reaction to that song, the sound of it, and the lyrics. give it a read:

"Fields Of Gold"
You'll remember me when the west wind movesUpon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous skyAs we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her loveFor to gaze awhileUpon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came downAmong the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my loveAmong the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous skyAs we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover soUpon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouthAmong 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 leftWe'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer daysAmong the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes downAmong the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind movesUpon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous skyWhen we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of goldWhen we walked in the fields of gold

my favorite lines are
her hair came down among the fields of gold,
see the west wind move like a lover,
see the children run as the sun goes down.

so many phases of life are described in this song, the mirth and freedom of childhood, the rapture of young love, the growing up, and finally taking stock of life and deciding "in the days we have left we'll walk in fields of gold"

tell me your thoughts on this song. what if anything, does it remind you of.
maybe you hate sting, tell me anyways.

by the way, my friend brent m***** took this photo on some of the lanker fields. that's me on the 4wheeler, and yes, i edited it just a bit (thank you picasa)
