Tijdens een interview voor een Amerikaanse televisiezender zei James Taylor over de betekenis van "Fire and rain": "Het lied bestaat is opgebouwd uit 3 delen: Het eerste deel gaat over over Taylor's vriendin Susanne Schnerr, die stierf terwijl James in Londen aan het werk was aan zijn eerste album na ondertekening bij Apple Records. Zijn vrienden in Amerika waren bang dat het nieuws van het overlijden van Susanne James zou kunnen afleiden en zijn carriëre zou kunnen schaden. James kreeg het tragische nieuws over Susanne pas zes maanden later te horen. Het tweede deel gaat over James Taylor's strijd tegen drugsverslaving en om depressie te overwinnen. Het derde deel gaat over roem en fortuin. Het bevat een verwijzing naar James Taylor en The Flying Machine, een band waarmee hij kort heeft gewerkt net vóór zijn grote doorbraak met Paul McCartney, producer Peter Asher en Apple Records.

Songtekst

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, 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 got to help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin' 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 walkin' 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 comin' my way this time around now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you
Fire and rain
