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.
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.
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.

Taylor, James Fire And Rain Comments
My dad named me after him. My middle name is Taylor. My dad would play this song. He died when I was 16. This song makes me miss him so bad.
Sweet dreams and flying machines flying safely through the air
Kobe brought me here.
Mike Craig 👋🏻✨
RIP KOBE 😪
Who are the monsters downvoting this?!
WHY?!?!
its Wyatt the one that loves it
James Taylor you made fire and rain
profound resonance will stay with all who hear it.
How could anyone dislike this song and not love it instead?
I for one would like to welcome our insect overlords.
Who was Suzanne? Whoever you are thanks..
I seen Google Chrome YouTube ,
I stand with them all to the end.
Pure depression and ugly mental storms made into something beautiful. Made into art. Perfection
How could anyone down vote this great piece of playing
this world today needs more wooden music .
well done love it.
He reminds me a lot of Neil young on how he handles the guitar and song
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.
All these dislikes? WTF?
When he is singing playing and looking somewhere to his friend.
That’s it.
Am here because of THE BOYS
Jesus is all he needed. Still the same.
"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.
Why does people Dislike Old Classics Like This One??????? What Kind Of A World Are We Living In???? So Disappointing...........
Love this ❤ Had this album 1970. Love JT
Timeless!
Such a beautiful piece of art this song, sounds even better live and hits harder than the studio version.
You know this is legit when a studio version of this song comes on and you instantly switch it to this vid.
Carolina son !
But I always thought that I'd see you again. ...
This song is now 50 years old, and has aged like wine (or better than, for that matter)!
immenso
Now that's what you can talent. A spellbinding live performance. Flawless.
This song is about suicide. :(
Who was he talking about ?
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
Phenomenal
2k thumbs down??? Tone deaf or what?. If this song don't at least give you chills, you dont know good music!
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...
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
I burn for you Stacy my heart my love forever.
Music at its finest!! Bless JT and everyone!!
Kurt Cocaine
sweet dreams and flying machines flying safely through the air
One of My Top 10 Songs of All Time!!!
Is he on something??? Why doesn't he open his eyes?
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 ❤️
2020 !!
Happy New Year to All !!
Wherever You All have gone...
Wow, former president James Taylor!
I'm wondering about the ppl that gave this thumbs down...smh
Wtf James Taylor and Kurt Cobain have the same exact fashion sense?!!
Ur right 🤣😂
I watched this concert in 1970 and even then it was clear that it was magical. 50 years later my opinion is the same.
He looks so young.
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.
James Taylor must be pissed he used to have such great hair.
Great tune. Great lyrics.
feeling a bit shitty, this cheers me up
It gets better 🤙🏽
How stoned is he ? Lol
This......is an absolute masterpiece- perfect in every single way. Still gets me choked up and draws chills no matter how many times I’ve heard it. So very beautiful.....
One of the top 3 unplugged performances ever.
Fantastic!!!!.
My mom sent me this song after she died i miss her so much. It's really hard walking thru this existence without her being here.

James wrote this song after a friends suicide. Suicide doesn't remove the pain. It just passes it on to someone else.
That's a selfish thing to say!
@Henry Dunlap Why is it selfish? It's true.
https://youtu.be/n5yoSjrpgAU A wonderful jazz tune! Take a look!
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
All these rock stars had secret unforgettable lovers....
The long hairs from this time period..ruled the world
Hauntingly beautiful. What a talent. Stunning.
SITTING IN MEPHAM HIGH, LONG ISLAND, MY BABY & ME, ATTENDING A MINI-CONCERT BY STUDENTS; ONE GUY PERFORMED THIS, THE MUSICIAN I AM & WANTED TO BE BACK THEN(YET TO WRITE 1ST "GREAT SONG"), GIVING ADVICE TO HIS STRUMMING, BASKING IN THE LOVE LIGHT OF "LADY DIANE:"(WHY SHE SELECTED ME I'LL NEVER COMPREHEND), A SENIOR OF IMMENSE BEAUTY & INTELLIGENCE & CHARM. IT COULDN'T LAST. IT DID NOT, PRESTO, WROTE THAT SONG "TRYING TOO HARD" 1ST TIME OUT OF THE BOX. WRITING TILL I DIE(OVER "1000" + A BOOK & 2 SCI-FI NOVELETTES.
Please don't let me snore.
I’m 16 and I listen to songs that came out before I was born
Wow, former president James Taylor...
This song and “boulder to Birmingham” by Emmylou Harris are two of the most exquisite songs I think that have ever been written

After listening to this song about 100 times in a row the tears stop but the feelings never change. “I always thought that I’d see you again”
I get it friend
Fantistic 🤪😜🤩
oh that sweet baritone hits my feels every time
michael stinks
Anyone that thumbed down this song or james Taylor's artistic ways does not love let alone like music! He is a legend and a amazing song writer/singer! They need to actually pay attention to his lyrics
RIP Bobby
Totally groovy man! I was one yr old. My parents should have got me this record!!! Mean parents! Iv bn missin out!
This song shows that humanity can survive. I love him.
I simply love this song 💗
“There’s hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come”. That line always gets me.
Or, " Susan, the plans we made, put an end to you."
Perfectly put together.
LOVE THIS SONG SUNG Y JAMES TAYLOR. THANKS DAVY.
❤❤❤ 2019
Perfect voice.
the opening arpeggio on acoustic sets it up perfectly for the losses in life we have all suffered. A brilliant song to be sad with
Baah! Everything then was wonderful, and everything today is terrible, and it's all thanks to the SJWs. Baah! Now excuse me as I post a racist comment not grounded in reality.
Nov 22 2019 at 5:30 am watching pure talent...... thanks to all that made this possible 😎🇨🇦🎸
Anyone who can write such a song of tender sorrow has a beautiful soul indeed...Tom Struska
Wow - so beautiful
Wheres the autotune, brah?! Laaaame. I need some womps
🙏💝🙏
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.
iamIsrael I believe they were both in treatment for addiction and were separated. Or that’s what I’ve always heard.
watching him sing this beautiful song and looking at music today equals a big joke and everyone is laughing at hollywood.
Wow! Former President James Taylor.
I hope the 2.1k find their way into a bottomless pit.
It was probably hit by someone by mistake
Remember the titian's
Absolute brilliance!
