Lyrics Fire And Rain - Live 1976 - James Taylor

Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out on the morning and I wrote down this song
I just can′t remember who to send it to

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

Now won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You′ve got to help me to make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body′s aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

Oh, I′ve seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I′ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I′d see you again

And I've been walking my mind to an easy time
With my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows
Don′t it turn your head around?

And there's hours of time on the
Telephone line just to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Oh, I′ve seen fire and I've seen rain
I′ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you somehow one more time

Thought I′d see you, thought I′d see you one more time
There's just a few things coming my way this time around
Thought I′d see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain
Thought I′d see you one more, one more time

This tune is called, "Carolina in my Mind"
It was written in three places, it was written
In Formentera, in Spain, it was written in
In London and
It was written in between those two places
Yeah, well that's nice to speak to you
I′ll play the song now
