FIRE AND RAIN

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. 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. 
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.

Been walkin’ my mind to an easy time with my back turned towards the sun.
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it’ll turn your head around. 
Well there’s hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come. 
Sweet dreams and flyin’ machines and pieces on the ground.  (Chorus)

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, baby, one more time again, now. 
Thought I’d see you one more time again. 
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.
