LYRICS

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 got to help me make a stand
I just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
I just gonna make it through another day
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's gonna 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 flying 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
