Fire and Rain

I've seen fire and rain for sure. Everything JT talks about in this song, I can definitely say I've been there and done that. So what, I guess. I've got to just say "so what!", and move on. I know there's been a ton of crap and tragedy in my life. I could sit down and make an ugly, fat list of it all, and it would choke me, it would kill me. But I don't want to do that. I'm tired of that. I want to go on and be a happy person, not dwell on the sorrows of the past.

I keep trying, and people and stuff keep sucking me back into the sorrow. I guess I have to be stronger. I have to make changes inside, and just grow beyond the sorrows. I really am working on it.

Don't you love the cello in the background of this arrangement?



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

I’ve 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
