Songtexte Fire and Rain - Bobby Womack

You know everybody′s got their own way of, uh
Doing anything
And I could take this particular song for instance
It's been done by many, but I gotta do it my way
It′s sayin' something

Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I woke up this morning, oh I wrote down this song
But I can′t remember who to send it to, oh

I′ve seen fire, Lord I've seen rain
I′ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I knew I seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But in my mind I always thought I'd see you again
Again, see you again

Won′t you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
Just got to see me through another day, another day
My body′s aching but I realize that my time is at hand
And I don't believe I can make it no other way
That's why I say

I′ve seen fire, I′ve seen fire, Lord knows I've seen rain
I′ve seen lonely days that I thought would never end
And ooh, I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I thought I′d always, always see you again (see you again)
See you again (see you again), see you again (see you again)

Been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows
Turn your head around
Well there's always talkin′ on the telephone line
Talkin' about things to come
But sweet dreams, flying machines, pieces all on the ground

I've seen fire and I′ve seen rain
I′ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I still hung right in
Simply because I thought that I'd always see you again (again, again)
I wanna see you again

See you
I made up in my mind that I would see you
Listen to me now
Well, sometimes when they fall down
My cheeks are wet with tears
Mellow
You gotta be the greatest of them all
I thought I′d see you again (see you again)
