text: how can a sky be jealous?   i've always assumed it meant that the sky was jealous because the gold in the fields was brighter than the gold of the sun; at least from the point of view of the lovers in the song.   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 the 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 the 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 the fields of gold we'll walk in the 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 the fields of gold when we walked in the fields of gold when we walked in the fields of gold
