Long Songs

FIELDS OF GOLD

Songwriter: Gordon Sumner (Sting)

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among 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?
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in 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
We'll walk in fields of gold

Ooh
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among 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
When we walked in fields of gold, ooh

SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY
Songwriters: Les Brown / Bud Green / Ben Homer

Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

Got my bag, got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that all aboard

Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waitin' up at heaven
Countin' every mile 
Of railroad track
That takes me back

Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take this sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

WILL YE NO COME BACK AGAIN

Bonny Charlie’s noo awa

Safely o’er the friendly main

Mony a heart will break in twa

Should he ne’er come back again

Will ye no come back again x2

Better lo’ed ye canna be (say ‘lude’)

Will ye no come back again.

Hills he trod were all his ain

Bed beneath the birken tree

The bush that hid him on the plain

None on earth can claim, but he

Sweet the lav’rock’s note and lang

Liltin’ wildly up the glen

But aye to me he sings a sang

Will ye no come back again

WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

Ben Lee, arr. A. Jorgensen, N. Murray

COUNTRY ROADS

John Denver

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Chorus

I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

Chorus

IN THIS HEART

Sinéad O'Connor

Sops

In this heart lies for you, a lark born only for you,

Who sings only to you, my love, my love, my love.

Sops + Tenors

I am waiting for you, for only to adore you,(pause)

My heart is for you,(pause) my love, my love, my love.

Sops + Tenors + Altos

This is my grief for you, for only the loss of you,(pause)

The hurting of you,(pause) my love, my love, my love

Sops + Tenors + Altos + Basses

There are rays on the weather, Soon these tears will have cried,

All loneliness have died, my love, my love,(pause) my love.

Sops + Tenors + Altos + Basses

I will have you with me, In my a-a-arms only,(pause)

For you are only (pause) my love, my love, my (pause) love.

SKYE BOAT SONG

Skye Boat Song- Morningsong for Peer Sing June 2019.

Chorus

Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
 Onward! the sailors cry;


Carry the lad that's born to be King, 
Over the sea to Skye.

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunderclaps rend the air;
Baffled, our foes stand by the shore,
Follow they will not dare.

[Chorus]

Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,
Ocean's a royal bed.


Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
 watch by your weary head.

[Chorus]

Many's the lad fought on that day,
Well the Claymore could wield,


When the night came, silently lay
 dead on Culloden's field.

quietly [Chorus]

then loudly...

Burned are our homes, exile and death
 scatter the loyal men;


(shhh)Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath,
(louder) Charlie will come again.
