Lyric discussion by theladysopal 

Sting wrote this song whilst he was looking out into his garden and watching his children (the ones he has with Trudie Styler, I presume) playing. I think its about a man looking back on his life, at the mistakes, and the happiness, and feeling satisfied.

I adore this song. Eva Cassidy sang it very nicely, but at the end of the day, Sting wrote it, it will always be his. The way he sings it ... wow. It is the most amazing song he has ever written, even people who dont like other things he has done enjoy fields of gold. Its truely amazing.

Also a nice interpretation.
