| [00:05.187] |
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? |
| [00:12.189] |
And where have you been, my darling young one? |
| [00:18.935] |
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, |
| [00:24.692] |
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, |
| [00:32.129] |
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, |
| [00:38.631] |
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, |
| [00:44.878] |
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, |
| [00:51.380] |
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, |
| [00:59.634] |
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. |
| [01:08.888] |
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? |
| [01:16.887] |
And what did you see, my darling young one? |
| [01:23.389] |
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it |
| [01:30.632] |
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, |
| [01:37.632] |
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', |
| [01:43.634] |
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', |
| [01:50.382] |
I saw a white ladder all covered with water, |
| [01:58.136] |
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, |
| [02:05.137] |
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, |
| [02:11.324] |
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, |
| [02:17.314] |
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. |
| [02:26.822] |
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? |
| [02:35.003] |
And what did you hear, my darling young one? |
| [02:41.510] |
I heard the sound of a thunder, that roared out a warnin', |
| [02:47.756] |
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, |
| [02:54.756] |
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', |
| [03:01.003] |
I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', |
| [03:07.505] |
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', |
| [03:13.761] |
I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, |
| [03:20.508] |
I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, |
| [03:27.509] |
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, |
| [03:33.754] |
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. |
| [03:43.252] |
Oh, what did you meet, my blue-eyed son? |
| [03:51.008] |
And who did you meet, my darling young one? |
| [03:54.003] |
I met a young child beside a dead pony, |
| [04:01.757] |
I met a white man who walked a black dog, |
| [04:10.202] |
I met a young woman whose body was burning, |
| [04:17.645] |
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow, |
| [04:24.392] |
I met one man who was wounded in love, |
| [04:30.149] |
I met another man who was wounded in hatred, |
| [04:37.142] |
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, |
| [04:44.151] |
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall |
| [04:55.095] |
And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? |
| [05:02.352] |
And what'll you do now, my darling young one? |
| [05:09.595] |
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin', |
| [05:15.597] |
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest, |
| [05:23.098] |
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty, |
| [05:30.343] |
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters, |
| [05:37.100] |
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison, |
| [05:44.100] |
And the executioner's face is always well hidden, |
| [05:49.849] |
Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten, |
| [05:57.104] |
Where black is the color, where none is the number, |
| [06:04.093] |
And I'll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it, |
| [06:10.095] |
And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it, |
| [06:16.597] |
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin', |
| [06:23.598] |
But I'll know my song well before I start singin', |
| [06:30.345] |
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, |
| [06:37.346] |
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. |
