Fire And Rain Lyrics
Artist(Band):James Taylor
Review The Song (16)Print the Lyrics
Just yesterday morning 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
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

I’ve 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

Review about Fire And Rain

r.i.p. john m.p., my friend killed on 911 | Reviewer: francine klemens | 8/15/2008

although my childhood friend john died in the north tower on 911 7 years ago i just found out about it 2 days ago. i lost touch with him when i joined the navy & he to college after h.s. every so often i search for old friends over the internet. for many years i had been looking for him. i mentioned it to a mutual friend who attended grade school with him & she broke the news to me. driving home from work last night i heard this song & i just cried non stop. i did always thought that I'd see him again.

"sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground." this line just makes me cry even more...thinking of the planes that hit the tower. i have to believe i will still see him again.

james taylor | Reviewer: bekah | 1/21/2008

so many people try pinpoint the exact meaning of why james taylor wrote this song. the truth is we'll never know. all we know is for some of us it brings sweet memmories of childhood, others it brings us to tears, to some people the song brings them to utter silence for the rush of the emotions they feel. this song has made so many people revaluate themselves and their lives. james taylor wrote this song for himself and his problems at the time and in return he helped so many people with their's.



Just Heard | Reviewer: Lindsey | 12/9/2007

I'm listening to James Taylor talking about Fire and Rain on Radio 2 in the UK. He says the first verse is when his friends let him know about the suicide of his friend Suzanne in the US, the day before he was due to leave the UK to go home. The second verse is about his time in rehab, and the third verse refers to the end of his old band the Flying Machines, with an optimistic side to his life.



R . I . P. Heather and Stephanie | Reviewer: Surf | 11/24/2007

This song speaks to me in so many ways. I'm brought to tears each time I hear it. It helps to make me realize just how much we don't have control over life, as much as we want to. Tis true, I've seen the fire and the rain, and been to he** and back. I always thought I would see you two again walking around town. God Bless and RIP. Until we meet up again in Heaven!....



What it means to me | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/8/2007

I first heard this song years and years ago when my family of four used to take a few long drives. I didn't really know what it meant and I haven't listened to it in ages so I only remember the way the chorus goes.. It must be good for me to remember it though since I was probably about 5. It's one of the best memories I have of my parents being together :)



RIP dad | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/30/2007

ill never forget when he played this at the concert for nyc i didnt quite get it then but there wasnt a dry eye in the crowd my mom told me this was my dads favorite song and he was playing it for my dad



Beautiful | Reviewer: Theodore Leal | 10/20/2007

I first heard this song when I was younger, but didn't know what it meant, but my high school AP english teacher had us listen to it again when I was older to evaluate the elements of poetry and now everytime I hear it, I wanna ball. This song is beautiful and will forever mean something amazing to me.



Great O'l Playin Music for Self Appreciation Of The Day | Reviewer: Homer | 9/2/2007

I enjoy playing and singing to the old tunes from the day. I play them on guitar, banjo,madolin,piano, and other keyboard, as well as try some on my fiddle. I have a new guitar coming as a birthday gift, what a neat thing eh? For someone disabled, this is one of the greatest gifts I can get, a new folk guitar and some lyrics to songs I know and love...Thanks folks I'll enjoy this for a long time to come I hope....Have a wonderful Labor day Weekend....

The Scoop | Reviewer: Sam H | 8/15/2007

I have heard many rumors about the various meanings, and searched many sources. It is true, the Flying Machines was a band that JT started in the mid to late 60's that indeed was a fizzle. But I have heard that the first verse is about the death of Suzanne Schnerr, the second is about his stay in drug rehab for heroin addiction, and the third verse is about the Flying Machines. JT is such a great artist for being able to craft such an easy song with mutliple meanings. Keep it coming James!
