It'S A Hard Rain Gonna Fall

Tell me where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Where have you been, my darling young one?
"I've stumbled up on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled over six crooked highways
I've stepped out in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans"

I tell you it's a hard
It is a hard
Well, it's hard
Oh, it's hard, yeah
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Tell me, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
What did you see, my darling young one?
"I saw a black branch dripping with blood all around it
I saw a room full of men with their hands buried, bleeding
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken"

Well, it's hard
It is hard
It is hard
Oh yeah
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Tell me, what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
What did you hear, my darling young one?
"I heard a one hundred drummers hands that were blazing
Ten thousand whispering and nobody listening
I heard a one person starve, I heard many people laughing
I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter"

Well, it's hard
It is hard
It is hard
Oh, it's hard, yeah
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Well, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
What'll you do now, my darling young one?
"Well, I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding the water
But I know my song well and I sure won't forget it"

Because it's hard
It is hard
Well, it's hard
Oh yeah
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Wah-ooh
Wah-ooh
Wah-ooh
Wah-ooh
