This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the poems, prayers & promises album, and has also been released on the changes and reflections: songs of love and life albums.





Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone

Susanne the plans they made put an end to you

I woke up this morning and wrote down this song

I just can't remember who to send it to



I've seen fire and i've seen rain

Seen sunny days that i thought would never end

Seen lonely times when i could not find a friend

But i always thought i'd see you again



Won't you look down upon me jesus you got to help me make a stand

You just got to see me through another day

My body's aching, my time is at hand

I just can't make it any other way



I've seen fire and i've seen rain

Seen sunny days that i thought would never end

Seen lonely times when i could not find a friend

But i always thought i'd see you again



I've been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned t'wards the sun

Lord knows when the cold wind blows it will turn your head around

There's hours of time on the telephone line they'll 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

Seen sunny days that i thought would never end

Seen lonely times when i could not find a friend

But i always thought i'd see you one more time again
