Fire and Rain Songtext

von Richie Havens

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
Now I just can't remember who to send it to

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny skies that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find my friends
But I always knew that I'd see you again
Always knew that I would see you again

Got to look down upon me, jesus
You've got to help me make my stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I know that I won't make it any other way

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny skies that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find my friends
But I always knew that I would see you again
Always knew that I would see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
We wasted hours of time speaking about things to come
While flying dreams and useful machines lay broken on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny skies that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find my friends
But I always knew that I would see you again
Always knew that I would see you again
Always knew that I would
See you
Again
