    Story Behind the Song
    "Fire And Rain"
    James Taylor

    Who is Suzanne?
    Susie Schnerr was a friend from James Taylor´s Greenwich Village days. She committed suicide while he was in London recording his debut album but his friends didn´t want to bring him down during his big break, so they kept it from him until later.

    "You've just got to see me through another day"
    The phrase "another day" here and in the song of the same name both refer to recovery from addiction.

    "Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground"
    The Flying Machine was the name of´James Taylor's first band, which broke up when he left for England and his eventual solo debut. Stories claiming the line refers to an actual plane crash are just urban legends.

    Lyrics
    Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
    Susanne 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

    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
