Fields of Gold

 


Hello my Dear Friends! 

Here in the foothills of Washington State, we are enjoying the beautiful, 

 long summer days filled with sunshine, wildflowers, and golden fields 

under our majestic Mt. Rainier. 

Come along with me and we will take a country drive to celebrate 

this wonderful, fleeting season, along with the lyrics 

to one of my favorite songs, 'Fields of Gold', by Sting. 

xoxo


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



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



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 

xoxo

  5. I like Stings music and I like that song ...
    Beautiful photographs from your part of the world.

    Here in the UK, and Europe, we have been experiencing very hot temperatures.
    I am hoping things will cool down soon ... we shall see.

    Sending good wishes across the miles.

    All the best Jan

  7. Oh Karen, I was thinking the same thing, I was going to take a country drive today. Thanks for taking us along with you on your peaceful drive, and your photos along the way are so heartwarming and pretty. Although, I'm not familiar with the song. And look at Mount Rainier in the distance! All your pictures are very nice, but I wish you could somehow frame picture 9. It's important to just get away from the everyday things, and spend some time gazing at our Father's world. You are so special for knowing and appreciating all the beauty that is around you.

  12. Hello, thank you for stopping in and taking a look at my blog and for the comment. Please come by anytime. I tend to blog about EVERYTHING. Crafts, photos I take, things I paint, trips, events, things that tend to just pop in my head, my life with the girls (two cats), my kids, grands, great grades and WHATEVER! Yep, I too am hoping this heat spell don't hang to long, but we have been lucky so far with some nice temps and low humidity up till now. Wow, those mt pics are amazing. We have mts here in TN also, but they don't look like that. And snow still? That is wild for sure. And that sky, beautiful.
