I know the lyrics to Fields of Gold have already been posted here by a different artist, but I heard this song (Sting singing, not Eva Cassidy) at the grocery store today and almost cried thinking of our boys.




Also, I came across this Brokeback Medley sung by the Gay Men's Chorus of LA. It's SO SO SO beautiful I had to share.
"He Was a Friend of Mine", "A Love That Will Never Grow Old", and "Wings"
"You got a better idea?"   "I did once."

Sting sings of fields of barley in that song, and in the movie, the final shot is of a field of barley.

With the wind moving.

In the story I've finished in my mind they are together forever walking in those fields of gold.  :'(

First time I've seen this thread, great songs, and the lyrics fit so well.

This is so perfect I think it could well have been on the soundtrack.

Norah Jones

"Come Away With Me"


Come away with me in the night
 Come away with me
 And I will write you a song

 Come away with me on a bus
 Come away where they can't tempt us
 With their lies

 I want to walk with you
 On a cloudy day
 In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
 So won't you try to come

 Come away with me and we'll kiss
 On a mountaintop
 Come away with me
 And I'll never stop loving you

 And I want to wake up with the rain
 Falling on a tin roof
 While I'm safe there in your arms
 So all I ask is for you
 To come away with me in the night
 Come away with me

I'm a fan of U2's older stuff.

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you'll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbor in the tempest

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night
You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold

All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You... all I want is...
You... all I want is...

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
"You got a better idea?"   "I did once."
