This is one of the first popular songs that I can remember as a youngster. I didn't know the back story, and it is heartbreaking, even today. As I type, tears well up in my eyes and I am so grateful that Mr. Taylor has shared his voice, his vision, and his very "self" with us. God bless you, sir.
Just yesterday mornin', 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'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 I won't make it any other way 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 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 Na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na 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
James Taylor always 'plants' a message with his music and lyrics. Many a person in life has duped me... this man/song seems to touch a base. Bless him for his thoughtful musical talent!
He's such a humble but strong man. Not a push over. I still wonder why he and Carly split up. He's been playing with Stay Human all week on Stephen Colbert. It's been nice to see and hear him.
What a lovely performance!!! Seen you in concert everytime you have been in Ireland. Keep it going !! Looking forward to seeing you next time you are here. Come back soon.
Valerie Alicea Hello. I’ve done a cover version James Taylor’s “Walking Man”: ruclips.net/video/MckBwM0kSNI/видео.html Please tell me what you think! Thanks & have a great day!
Yes, particularly since JT first sung this in reference to a difficult period in his own life. So powerful that his struggle became therapy for so many of us

This is what real artistry and first class talent is like! Keep rocking James!

James is the man - gets better and better
I saw this performance from 4th row of the Rosemont Theater in Chicago. The Pullover Tour was fantastic start to finish!!!
🥀Beautiful Song I've always loved this song since the 70s it brings tears to my eyes of memories🥀☝️🥀
Just yesterday mornin', 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'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
I won't make it any other way
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
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
Na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na
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
What a voice along with Christopher cross another particular vocal and a few others the song that touches my soul. Go, James go 🙏🏽

This goes out to my dearest friend Ben! ❤ 😢 Love you more my friend 😘
He's such a humble but strong man. Not a push over. I still wonder why he and Carly split up. He's been playing with Stay Human all week on Stephen Colbert. It's been nice to see and hear him.

Very sweet. Luís de Abreu, Lagos, Portugal
Impossibly sad, yet very hopeful all at the same time...very difficult to pull off
