Fire and Rain
James Taylor at the Beacon Theatre, New York.
______________________________________
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

Every time I hear this song ,it reminds me of my first Love.I had a crush on her in the Seventh grade and In the Eigth grade she became my Girl. We were b.f /g.f untill we went into HighSchool.We grew apart but stayed really good friends. Then came the news ,She had a Brain Tumor from a Bicycle accedent she was in. I saw her a week before she died. Her mother called me to let me know she was gone. .I still think of her every time I hear this song. Her name was Karen R.I.P.

Good for “most”. I …
Good for “most”. I think it sounds like , and ruins a perfectly good song that’s ONE GUY and ONE GUITAR. That’s the whole ing POINT.
Wheres the …
Wheres the orchestra, one Cello? Most would agree that Cellos always perfectly accompany a deep and soulful song such as this.
Estaré viendo a JT …
Estaré viendo a JT el martes 28 en Madrid. Espero oir esta canción (pero sin violonchelo, por favor)
Give the friggin’ …
Give the friggin’ orchestra the night off. That’s the most unnecessary “tarting-up” of a classic song I’ve ever heard.
simply amazing
simply amazing
JT’s voice sounds …
JT’s voice sounds as pure as it was in 1969 (the album was released in 1970 but recorded in December 1969)…I admire JT’s performance here…but his accompanying musician (cellist?) also gives a soulful performance as well…
I could agree with …
I could agree with you…(for those who don’t know) the first part of this song alludes to his friend, Suzanne Schnerr, who at that time had committed suicide…the second part relates to his battle to overcome depression and drug addiction…and the third part relates to his coming to grips with fame and fortune…JT’s road to stardom was fairly rocky…
this song is …
this song is awesome ^_^
Good memories …
Good memories Taylor. Hope that the reaction can reach you in some way, directly or indirectly.

He reminds me so much of my father, Gordon. The music, the days we spent in his camaro, the lake we fished on….love it!!! Good times.
