Lyrics Fire and Rain (Live 1988) - James Taylor

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

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

Won′t you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me 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 would see you again

So I′m walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows the cold wind blows
Like to turn your head around
Now there′s hours of time on the telephone line
Talking about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines
In pieces on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire, I′ve seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end, oh no
And I′ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought I would see you somehow, one more time again

Thought I'd see you, thought I′d see you
Just one more time, sometime
There've been a few things coming my way this time 'round
I thought I′d see you, thought I′d see you, fire and rain
Thought I'd see just you one more time, now
