Fire and rain

James Taylor

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to us
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny dais that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I've always hoped that I would see you again

Won't you look down upon me Jesus?
You got to help me make a stand
Just gotta see me trough another day
My body is acin' and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way


I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny dais that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I've always hoped that I would see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turns towards the sun
Lord knows, when the cold wind blows, it will turn your head around
Well as I was the time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and fine machines in pieces on the grown

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny dais that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I've always hoped that I would see you again
