Suzanne was James Taylor's girlfriend. Both were supposed to be released from
jail on the same day but James got out a few days earlier. When Suzanne was
released, she thought James had left her and commited suicide. James then
" wrote down this song "

1.     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 too


Ch     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 tha I'd see you again

2.     Won't you look down upon me Jesus you gotta help me make a stand
       You just got to see me throuhg another day
       My body's aching and my time is at hand
       And I won't make it through another day


3.    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 taulk about things
             to come
      sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
