Fire And Rain

Julius LaRosa · Other Songs - Julius LaRosa

Just yesterday mornin', 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

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

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



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

Na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na



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
