lifeblood: songs: lyrics: 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
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 now now
but i always thought that i'd see you again
