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

Refrain: 
Wade in the Water 
Wade in the Water 
Children wade in the Water,God's gonna trouble the Water 

Who's that young girl dressed in red 
Wade in the Water 
Must be the Children that Moses left 
And God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

Who's that young girl dressed in white 
Wade in the Water 
Must be the Children of Israeli 
God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

Who's that young girl dressed in blue 
Wade in the Water 
Must be Children coming true 
And God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

If you don't believe I did begin to wade in the Water 
Just see the holy ghost looking for me 
God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

. . .



I am a poor wayfaring stranger 
While journeying through this world of woe; 
And there’s no sickness, toil nor danger 
In that bright world to which I go. 

I’m going there to see my Father,
I’m going there no more to roam;
I’m only go-going over Jordan, 
I’m only go-going over home. 

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me, 
I know my way is rough and steep; 
And beautiful fields lie just before me, 
Where God’s redeemed there vigils keep. 

I’m going there to see my Father, 
I’m going there no more to roam; 
I’m only go-going over Jordan, 
I’m only go-going over home. 

I’m going there to see my mother, 
I’m going there no more to roam; 
I’m only go-going over Jordan, 
I’m only go-going over home. 

I want to wear that crown of glory, 
When I get home to that good land; 
Well I want to shout salvation’s story, 
In concert with ohh the blood-washed band, 

I’m going there to see my Saviour, 
I’m going there no more to roam; 
I’m only go-going over Jordan, 
I’m only go-going over home. 

Well I’m only go-going over home. 
Yeah only go-going over home.

. . .



For you there’ll be no crying 
For you the sun will be shining 
'Cause I feel that when I’m with you 
It’s alright, I know it’s right 

And the songbirds keep singing 
Like they know the score 
And I love you, I love you, I love you 
Like never before 

To you, I would give the world 
To you, I’d never be cold 
'Cause I feel that when I’m with you 
It’s alright, I know it’s right 

And the songbirds keep singing 
Like they know the score 
And I love you, I love you, I love you 
Like never before 

Like never before; like never before.

I found a picture of your smiling face 
Bringing old memories that I had locked away 
The burden of anger from a heart filled with pain 
Was finally lifted and I smile at you again 

Chorus
If time is a healer 
Then all hearts that break 
Are put back together again 
'Cause love heals the wound it makes 

I spoke such harsh words before goodbye 
Well I wanted to hurt you for the tears you made 
You made me cry 
All my hopes and dreams, well they started vanishing 
Those tender hurt feelings became a dangerous thing 

Chorus

All of the years we spent together 
Well they’re part of my life forever 
I hold the joy with the pain 
And the truth is I miss you my friend 

Chorus

. . .



Midnights in Winter
The glowing fire
Lights up your face in orange and gold.
I see your sweet smile
Shine through the darkness
It’s line is etched in my memory.

So I'd know you by heart.

Mornings in April
Sharing our secrets
We'd walk until the morning was gone. 
We were like children 
Laughing for hours 
The joy you gave me lives on and on. 

'Cause I know you by heart. 

I still hear your voice 
On warm Summer nights 
Whispering like the wind. 

(Oh oh ohh…) 

You left in Autumn 
The leaves were turning 
I walked down roads of orange and gold. 
I saw your sweet smile 
I heard your laughter 
You’re still here beside me every day. 

'Cause I know you by heart, 
'Cause I know you by heart.

People get ready 
There's a train a-coming 
You don't need no baggage 
You just get on board 
All you need is faith 
To hear diesels humming 
You don't need no ticket 
You just thank the Lord 
Yeah yeah yeah 

People get ready 
For the train to Jordan 
Picking up passengers 
From coast to coast 
Faith is the key 
Open the doors and board them 
There's room for all 
Among the loved and lost 

Now there ain't no room 
For the hopeless sinner 
Who¡Їs hard on mankind 
Just to save his own 
Have pity on those 
Whose chances are thinner 
Cause there's no hiding place 
From the Kingdom's Throne 

Ohh people get ready 
There's a train a-coming 
You don't need no baggage 
You just get on board 
All you need is faith 
To hear diesels a- humming 
You don't need no ticket 
You just thank the Lord 
Yeah yeah yeah 

I'm getting ready 
I - I'm ready yeah yeah yeah 
Oh I'm getting ready oh - oh 
I'm ready yeah

Oh ooh, had I a golden thread 
And a needle so fine 
I would weave a magic spell 
Of rainbow design 
Of rainbow design 

In it I would weave the courage 
Of women giving birth 
And in it I would weave the innocence 
Of the children of all the earth 
Children of all the earth 

Won¡Їt you show my, my brothers and sisters 
My rainbow design 
¡®Cause I would bind up the sorrowful 
With hand and heart and mine 
Oh hand and heart and mine 

Oh ooh, had I a golden thread 
And a needle so fine 
I would weave a magic spell 
Of rainbow design 
Of rainbow design 
Mmm mmm¡­

. . .



Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
In the land that I heard of once
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams
That you dare to dream
Really do come true 

Someday I wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like melon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you find me

Someday I wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you find me 

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams 
That you dare to dream
Really do come true

If happy little bluebirds fly
Above the rainbow, why
Oh, why can't I?
