Fire and Rain by Lindsey Yung

Lyrics to Fire and Rain by Lindsey Yung

Just yesterday morning, 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 gotta help me make a stand.

You just got to see me through another day.

My body’s achin’, and my time is at hand.

I won’t make it any other way.



Been walkin’ 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.
