A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall |
Oh where have you been, my blue eyed son? |
Where have you been, my darling young one? |
I´ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains |
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 |
I´ve been ten thousand miles in mouth of a graveyard |
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall |
And what did you see, my blue eyed son? |
What did you see, my darling young one? |
I saw a new-born baby with wild wolves around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it |
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin´ |
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin´ |
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 rain´s 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 roared out a warning |
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world |
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin´ |
Heard ten thousand whisperin´ and nobody listenin´ |
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin´ |
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter |
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley |
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall |
Oh who you did meet, my blue eyed son? |
Who did you meet, my darling young one? |
I met a young child beside a dead pony |
I met a white man who walked a black dog |
I met a young woman whose body was burning |
A young girl, she gave me a rainbow |
I met one man who was wounded in love |
Another man who was wounded with hatred |
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall |
Oh what’ll you do now, my blue eyed son? |
What’ll you do now, my darling young one? |
I’m goin´ back out ´fore the rain starts a-fallin´ |
Walk throught 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 their waters |
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison |
Where the executioners face is always well hidden |
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten |
Where black is the colour, and none is the number |
And I´ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it And reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it Then I´ll stand in the ocean until I start sinking |
But I´ll know my song well before I start singing |
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall |
