"Fire and Rain" Lyrics

(James Taylor)

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Sweet Baby Jane the plans they made put an end to you
Walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
Just can't remember who to send it to.

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.

Won't you look down upon me Jesus you gotta help me make a stand
You just gotta see me through another day
My body's aching 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 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.

--- Instrumental ---

I've been workin' my mind through an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold winds blow it'll turn your head around
There are the times on the telephone lines to talk about the times to come
Sweet dreams and flyin' machines and pieces on the ground.

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.

Oh, I always thought that I'd see you again...
Oh I always thought that I'd see you again
