Rod McKuen - Flight Plan


Wednesday 9th April, 2008 "Live in London" now available on CD! Get it now from Stanyan House		A Thought for Today Fields of wonder are the places God goes walking in. This One Does It For Me! Ken, Whenever I'm in need of relaxation I put on my old vinyl copy of Pastorale and listen to one of my favorite songs, Fields of Wonder. It's the most laid back, relaxing song I know of and I'd love the lyrics one day. Thank you. Angela Samuels Thanks for reminding me of this terrific album, Angela. My copy disappeared years ago so it's not an album that has top of mind awareness. Let's hold thumbs that it finds its way onto compact disc in the near future. And I'm mighty impressed you can still play your vinyl albums! I don't know of too many people who still have a turntable in good working order. You'll find the lyrics below.

		Spring doesn't ask for anything; it knows its strength. Display your love in all its Sunday clothes. Fortune smiles on those who ignore the dress code and roll up their sleeves.

FIELDS OF WONDER		Come and take my hand. We’ll go over yonder. Together we can walk the fields of wonder. Stay with me a while out beyond the summer. Together we can run the fields of wonder. There’s so much I don’t yet understand the how and why of growing. Maybe if you take me by the hand we’ll have an easier time of learning and knowing. Let’s go see the sun before it stops its turning. Together we can lie in fields of wonder. Lie down by my side from here until forever. Together we can stay in fields of wonder - and all the fields we find are fields of wonder. - from the album "Pastorale"

AND FINALLY

More next week. Meantime if you have a favorite McKuen song, poem or story you'd like to share, or a question you need answered, drop me a line (you'll find the address on our Contact Page) and I'll do the rest.
