Fire and Rain

Here Cliff sings James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" .

"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 Ive 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 Ive 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 Id 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

Don't think I ever heard James Taylor singing it but I simply love Cliff's version. He just rocks at gospel songs, it always gives me peace of mind

I think that for a lot of people, even the two non-Cliff fans out there (we know who you are), Cliff equals Christmas. We can all remember listening to Mistletoe and Wine on the radio in December and recently the FABULOUS Cliff at Christmas album (my personal favorite).

Of course a lot of stars record Christmas albums and it allows us to see a different side of them - right now an Elvis Presley Christmas duets album is out - and if we're Christian, Jewish or Muslim, there's a certain atmosphere and basic belief in the good around Christmas we can join in and believe in, I think.

Here's a Christmas Cliff song for you:
