Fields of Gold by Sting

This 1993 song by Sting is especially beautiful on the harp. I have had couples request it for their family seating, wedding party processional, bridal processional, and mid-ceremony interlude. It is also a favorite for wedding receptions and parties for any occasion.

This piece can be played on pedal harp or lever harp.

This version is a duet of harp and steel pans (steel drums). This unique duet instrumentation is perfectly suited for performing wedding music in any venue, but especially for beach weddings or those with a Caribbean or calypso flair. A harp solo recording is also available.


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 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

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
