fields of golden barley

I see your face, there in the stars. When I close my eyes you're not too far. Do you feel my hand? It's tied up in yours. I'm keeping you with me, forevermore. And I still remember, it's sealed in song. The golden fields of barley. When a breeze comes along, it’ll bend the tops of the grasses, sending them rolling like ocean waves. In the middle stands a tree, like a boat in a golden sea. The sunlight will shimmer across the field, from my shoes spreading to the sky and beyond. In the sun that is beginning to set I’ll think of you, so never forget. Cause I never will, the fields that we run through. I'll steal every single detail, so I’ll always remember you. So, don't you forget me, those memories we hold like water and time written in stone. I'll love you forever, you'll always know. So, if you feel like our connection is lost, just lay on the grass and I’ll speak to you. It'll be like old times, just you and me, laying in the fields of golden barley. Staring up at the sky, two lovers together forever….. never apart.
