breath are you taking the fields of your gold?

"What are you Doing the Rest of Your Life?"
by bergman/bergman/legrand
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and south and east and west of your life? 
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me.
All the seasons and the times of your days.
All the nickels and the dimes of your days.
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days.
All begin and end with me.
I want to see your face,
In every kind of light,
In fields of gold and
Forests of the night;
And when you stand before
The candles on a cake.
Oh let me be the one to hear
The silent wish you make.
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love you keep in your eyes,
Ill awaken what's asleep in your eyes,
It may take a kiss or two..
Through all of my life..
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life,
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you.

The most appallingly dysfunctional look at sex and romance in the history of pop music? If you're not queasy after the eighth line, it's long past due for you to take a critical look at the attitudes about love and sex that were instilled in you as a child. Doing so may begin to untangle the misery you've been living for however many decades you've been drawing breath on this ol' rock. What's even more upsetting, sting himself covered this song (which even, odin help us, won a grammy). This song is like the AM gold B-side to "Every Breath You Take", but without that song's saving grace, its intentional perversity (never mind how many millions missed said perversity). The sting connection is furthered when you look at the lyrics and wonder whether Mr. sumner plucked one of his own song titles from this (ahem) gem.
