Fire And Rain
(James Taylor)
- dis song is dedicated to a very dear friend, who is in pain right now ....
Just yesterday mornin' they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this mornin' 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 gotta help me make a stand
You 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
I've been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned toward 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 again
Thought I'd see you one more time again ....

Saby,
This song, this poem, to life, to love, to loss, this is why I write.
Half an hour before sunrise
while the moon still reigns
supreme
I wait
Half an hour before sunrise
while the birds tuck sleepy heads
beneath their wings
I wait
Half an hour before sunrise
while the long night lengthens
in triumph
I wait
Half an hour before sunrise
you are gone and will never return
and yet forever will
I wait
A vaired and lively touch put out to the world.
Rock on!
ack, this diesn't sound good, I hope your friends pain ends quickly. Sorry I wasn't the queen you were looking for.
Heyyyy Queeny
dont be blue
she has recovered
she never lets the blues get her down
mebbe her heart still aches
but it dont show no more
James Taylor wrote this one for a friend who committed suicide...
One of my favs too...
Keshi.
