Richie Havens Fire And Rain Lyrics

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
