I've seen fire and I've seen rain.

Blue eyes,
Baby’s got blue eyes,
Like a deep blue sea,
On a blue blue day.

Love is like a dyin’ ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I’ll remember
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain

After she packed, when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
That’s got me worried thinking maybe my baby’s
Gotten good at goodbye

Goodbye Papa it’s hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I’ll be there

The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees
MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh no!

Old friends, old friends
Sat on their parkbench like bookends
A newspaper blowin’ through the grass
Falls on the round toes of the high shoes of the old friends

Old friends, winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

under blue and silver sky, far from the sea
snow-laden breezes, wild and free
come to do-si-do my love and me
in the land of the cold sunshine
where the highway runs, a scar, right through the snow
every turn a vista or a glittering plateau
we take the high road
through the land of the cold sunshine

Ah, for just one time
I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line
Through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

Who knows when we shall meet again,
If ever?
But time keeps flowing like a river
To the sea.

Ol’ man river,
That ol’ man river,
He mus’ know sumpin’
But don’t say nuthin’
He jus’ keeps rollin’
He keeps on rollin’ along.

But it don’t snow here
It stays pretty green
I’m going to make a lot of money
Then I’m going to quit this crazy scene
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Somebody’s shouting
Up at a mountain
Only my own words return
Nobody’s out there
It’s a deception
When will I ever learn?
I’m alone here
With emptiness eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home

I lit a Fire with the love you left behind
It burned wild, and crept up the mountainside
I followed your ashes into outerspace…
I can’t look out the window
I can’t look at this place…
I can’t look at the stars.

I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher,
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

It’s not funny, my ass is on fire
Paraplegic, inhuman liar
Carve a smile on your face
Everything’s great
Suffocate

Liar
Nobody believes me
Liar

I say I don’t love you
But you know I’m a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ooooh, fire

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I’m on fire

I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain,
I’ve seen rainy days that I thought would never end…

(Oh dear, what does this mean?)
