A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall

Lyrics

Where have you been my blue eyed son?
 Where have you been, my darling young one?
 I stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
 I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
 stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
 been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
 ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
 and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard
 It's a hard rain, is a-gonna fall.
 What did you see, my blue eyed son?
 And what did you see, my darling young one?
 I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
 a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
 saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
 room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
 saw a white ladder all covered with water
 I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
 I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
 And it's a hard, and it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard
 It's a hard, it's a hard rain, is a-gonna fall.
 And what did you hear my blue-eyed son?
 What did you hear my darling young one?
 I heard the sound of thunder that roarded out a warning. I heard the roar of the wave that could drowned the whole world.
 I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin.
 I heard ten thousand whisperin and nobody listenin.
 I heard one person starve and I heard 10 people laughin.
 I heard the song of a poet who died in a gutter.
 I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley.
 Now, now, Aha, aha
 And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
 It's a hard, and it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
 What do you do now, my blue-eyed son?
 What do ya do now, my darling young one?
 I'm goin back out for the rain starts a fallin,
 Walk through the depths of the deepest dark forests,
 houses in the valley meet the damp dirty prison,
 where hunger is ugly and souls are forgotten,
 and I'll tell it, and think it, and speak it, and breath it, and reflect from the mountains so to all souls see it. I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking, but I'll know my song well before I start singing and it's hard, oh it's hard, it's a hard, hard
 hard, hard and it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. oh you know it, it's a hard, hard, hard rain's fall.
 Hard rain fallin, hard rain.
