James Taylor - Fire and Rain (Beacon Theatre)

Fire and Rain

James Taylor at the Beacon Theatre, New York.
______________________________________

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

Amazing. Not even a James Taylor fan and just now realized I don't know why I haven't been.

"Won't you look down on 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"

Needed to hear that. I've been feelin' that everyday for the past 6 years.

Just bought 4 tickets for the Verizon center in Manchester NH. Allways wanted to see him live.

JT is a tower of inspiration and listening pleasure. I've enjoyed his songs since I was 12, when I first heard him. Taught myself how to play them on the guitar. His compositions are unique and he never shows off. He is awesome on stage and in the studio. JT is one of the few pop/rock/country composer/artists who has survived personal hell and stood the test of time since the late 1960s, and he only gets better.

My sis-in-law played this song, among others, in a video at her R.N. graduation. Not a dry eye in the place! All of that hard work pays off ten fold.

They played this song on the radio today in State College and dedicated it to Joe Paterno. This song really fit him.

Holy CRAP his voice is perfect. It's live, and it's perfect. Gloriously rare.

James Taylor has always been one of my greatest inspirations. It was him and Mark Knopfler who made me record my on records. If you like, check them out by clicking my name.
