Taylor, James - Fire And Rain Lyrics






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'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'd see you again.

Been walking 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.
Well, 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.

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 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, now.
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now.

  12. M.... Z....

    I seen Google Chrome YouTube ,
    I stand with them all to the end.

  13. E.... M....

    Pure depression and ugly mental storms made into something beautiful. Made into art. Perfection

  14. P.... C....

    How could anyone down vote this great piece of playing

  15. S.... A....

    this world today needs more wooden music .

  16. S.... A....

    well done love it.

  17. s.... r....

    He reminds me a lot of Neil young on how he handles the guitar and song

  18. a.... f....

    This song reminds me of the most beautiful girl I ever got a date with. Absolute angel of a girl. Look up Deke Slayton Air Show crash, so sad.

  19. J.... G....

    All these dislikes? WTF?

  20. a.... r....

    When he is singing playing and looking somewhere to his friend.
    That’s it.

  21. S.... d....

    Am here because of THE BOYS

  22. C.... P....

    Jesus is all he needed. Still the same.

  23. t.... ....

    "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 around." I think that single phrase probably hits home to me more than anything.

  24. n.... h....

    Why does people Dislike Old Classics Like This One??????? What Kind Of A World Are We Living In???? So Disappointing...........

  25. T.... F....

    Love this ❤ Had this album 1970. Love JT

  26. t.... ....

    Timeless!

  27. R.... M....

    Such a beautiful piece of art this song, sounds even better live and hits harder than the studio version.

  28. N.... B....

    You know this is legit when a studio version of this song comes on and you instantly switch it to this vid.

  29. M.... Y....

    Carolina son !

  30. A.... K....

    But I always thought that I'd see you again. ...

  31. S.... L....

    This song is now 50 years old, and has aged like wine (or better than, for that matter)!

  32. g.... p....

    immenso

  33. G.... J....

    Now that's what you can talent. A spellbinding live performance. Flawless.

  34. C.... R....

    This song is about suicide. :(

    C.... R....

    Who was he talking about ?

    C.... R....

    Actually just the first part is about a childhood friends suicide. The rest is regarding his heroin addiction. Flying Machine in pieces on the ground is regarding his old band falling apart

  35. J.... F....

    Phenomenal

  36. t.... d....

    2k thumbs down??? Tone deaf or what?. If this song don't at least give you chills, you dont know good music!

  37. m.... ....

    Homer: What do I do? Patty's gonna kill me.
    Unless...I kill her first.
    I put the body in the car, I dump the car in the lake,
    I put a James Taylor CD in the stereo so they think it's a suicide...

  38. R.... U....

    Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
    Susanne 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'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'd see you again
    Been walking 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
    Well, 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
    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, 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, now
    Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now

  39. J.... D....

  44. D.... C....

    Is he on something??? Why doesn't he open his eyes?

    D.... C....

    He was fighting heroin addiction during this time, so it’s a valid guess he was on it during this performance...so glad he survived and continued making amazing music for years to come ❤️

  45. c.... d....

    2020 !!

  47. M.... ....

    I'm wondering about the ppl that gave this thumbs down...smh

  48. E.... S....

    Wtf James Taylor and Kurt Cobain have the same exact fashion sense?!!

    E.... S....

    Ur right 🤣😂

  49. c.... ....

    I watched this concert in 1970 and even then it was clear that it was magical. 50 years later my opinion is the same.

  50. M.... V....

    He looks so young.

  51. R.... B....

    I heard this song on a drunken night regretting about someone I lost. It’s been over 15 years since that day; but this song has made me realise so many things, people and love. This song made me love again. This song made me live again. Thank you James for making my life so beautiful.

  52. t.... ....

    James Taylor must be pissed he used to have such great hair.

  59. A.... B....

  60. A.... M....

    Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
    Susanne 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

    Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now

  61. R.... C....

    James wrote this song after a friends suicide. Suicide doesn't remove the pain. It just passes it on to someone else.

    R.... C....

    That's a selfish thing to say!

    R.... C....

    @Henry Dunlap Why is it selfish? It's true.

  62. V.... B....

    https://youtu.be/n5yoSjrpgAU A wonderful jazz tune! Take a look!

  63. D.... C....

    makes me think of an old love who died by his own hand. The garage floor was littered with motorcycle parts from one that we were rebuilding....sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

  64. S.... W....

    All these rock stars had secret unforgettable lovers....

  65. S.... W....

    The long hairs from this time period..ruled the world

  66. N.... N....

    Hauntingly beautiful. What a talent. Stunning.

    🙏💝🙏

  94. i.... ....

    this song was about his girlfriend Susan...her parents put her in a mental institution and she killed herself. they kept it from James until he finished an album he was recording at the time in England.

    i.... ....

    iamIsrael I believe they were both in treatment for addiction and were separated. Or that’s what I’ve always heard.

  95. i.... ....

    watching him sing this beautiful song and looking at music today equals a big joke and everyone is laughing at hollywood.

  96. j.... 1....

    Wow! Former President James Taylor.

  97. R.... K....

    I hope the 2.1k find their way into a bottomless pit.

    R.... K....

    It was probably hit by someone by mistake

  98. F.... D....

    Remember the titian's

  99. G.... C....
