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
Jayfeather slowly padded into the camp. His sister's death was really taking a toll on his health. Even the most mouse-brained cat could see it. His pelt was dull, his sightless blue eyes were clouded with grief, and his tail hung low, dragging on the sandy floor all the way to the medicine cat den.
Jayfeather opened his mouth to call for Leafpool, but realization hit him. He sadly spat the comfrey leaves into their designated spot, and slumped into his nest.
"Jayfeather! I have a thorn in my pad."
It was Cinderheart.
"Hello, Cinderheart. Let me see your pad," mewed Jayfeather, gently pulling the thorn from her pad.
"Now a poultice of marigold will keep out infection," he told her, while chewing up the bitter leaves.
"Thank you, Jayfeather," she purred, leaving the medicine den.
Jayfeather watched her leave, and sighed.
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
The next day, Jayfeather padded out of the medicine den. The dawn patrol had just left, and Cinderheart was guarding the entrance. The perfect time to got hunting… for herbs, at least.
"Hello, Cinderheart," mewed Jayfeather.
"Hello, Jayfeather," she purred, licking his cheek.
The action surprised him, but he didn't mind.
"Can I look for herbs with you?" she asked.
"What about your pad?" he asked.
"It's fine. Some exercise will do it good. And I'll get Dustpelt to guard the entrance for me. It's time that lazy furball got up, anyway," she purred, amusement glittering in her eyes.
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
They padded deeper and deeper into the forest, near WindClan territory. The land flattened out into golden moorland. They were silent, until Jayfeather gently placed his tail over Cinderheart's flank.
"What? Do you smell the herbs you need?" she asked, looking into his sightless eyes.
"No… I…Cinderheart, I have something to tell you."
"What is it, Jayfeather?" she breathed.
"I love you, Cinderheart," he purred.
"I love you, too"
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
Cinderheart's kits were beautiful. Two she-cats and a tom. They were named Juniperkit, Daisykit, and Specklekit. Luckily they all looked like her.
That didn't stop Jayfeather from being proud.
He and Cinderheart would always be together, and whenever they had the chance, they would share tongues in that field of gold where they first confessed their love.
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
