I've seen fire.....

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.

James Taylor wrote this on the suicide of his friend , Suzanne Schnerr.

Help my prejudices, but I think that the music of my youth was just the best..... Except for almost everything pre-1800 that is......
