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

Well your not …
Well your not looking at the big picture. James Taylor grow up in a time when you need manners. If you didn’t have manner you would be considered different. Now, manners doesn’t matter. Its only about sex, drugs and girls in short shorts. If 50 cent show manners, his complete image would be destroyed.

Just home from the Marquee in Cork, this man was brilliant. He spent 15 mins signing autographs from the stage after the intermission. A gentleman. Bet you 50 cent wont!!

He did a few from “Covers”, but mostly it was the usual. His voice was as good as I’ve ever heard it, but he struggled a little bit on Witchitta Lineman - those high notes get harder with age! Still, great performance, you’ll enjoy it.

No it is not. I heard an interview with JT speaking about it. It’s about a friend that committed suicide. The reference to “Flying machine” refers to the group “Flying Machine” that he was a part of that broke up at about the same time
