[Verse 1]
Just yesterday morning
They never know you were gone
Susan, the plans they made put an end to you
I woke up this morning
And I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

[Chorus]
Well, 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, yeah
But I always thought that I'd see you again

[Verse 2]
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus?
You've got to help me make a stand
I just can't make it through another day
My body's aching
And my time, my time is at end
I just can't make it any other way, yeah

[Chorus]
Well, 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, yeah
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Sweet momma, you're gone
[Verse 3]
I'm openin' my mind to easier times
My back turned to the sun
Lord knows when the cold winds blow, it'll turn your head around
But there's only time on the telephone lines
To talk about the good things to come
Sweet dreams and war machines in pieces on the ground, yeah

[Chorus]
Well, 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, yeah
But I always thought that I'd see you again

[Outro]
And your gone, gone, gone, my baby
Sweet times don't wait for me no more
I can't go on living without you by my side
