Fire and Rain Lyrics

I heard you were back in town,
I heard you were coming 'round,
Trying to get off the ground,
From every road you went down,

I walked down to your street,
I could still feel the old heat,
If you're burning on empty,
I'll be holding a golden ring,

Cause hey hey they don't know you like I do,
I'd wait for the whole world to show you,
Maybe we're not,
Not that gone,

Do you ever think about me,
Do you ever call my name,
Ask me now I'll give you the reasons,
My love will not fade,
Through the fire and rain,
The fire and rain,

I'll meet you half way,
If you're coming the long,
Don't care what the people say,
Of the prodigal runaway,

Cause hey hey they don't know you like I do,
I'd wait for the whole world to show you,
Maybe we're not,
Not that gone,

Do you ever think about me,
Do you ever call my name,
Ask me now I'll give you the reasons,
My love will not fade,
Through the fire and rain,
The fire and rain,

You said goodbye I'm gone,
Oh it hurts to hold on,
If you settled your score,
(and you know and you know),
Pick you up off the floor,

Do you ever think about me,
Do you ever call my name,
Ask me now I'll give you the reasons,
My love,
Do you ever think about me,
Do you ever call my name,
Ask me now I'll give you the reasons,
My love will not fade,
Through the fire and rain,
The fire and rain,
Through the fire and rain,
The fire and rain.

thank you husband for introducing me to the song!
