Fire And Rain
Words & music by James Taylor
sung by John Denver
on "Poems, Prayers and Promises" (1971)
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
but I 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 now
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 got to see me through another day
my body's achin' 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 now
but I always thought that I'd see you again
I've been walkin' my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
but there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
sweet dreams and flying machines in 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 now
but I always thought that I'd see you again
