Fire And Rain

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
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

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
