0:10Oh where have you been my blue eyed son
0:14Where have you been my darling young one
0:21I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
0:25Walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
0:29Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
0:33Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
0:36I've been ten thousand miles in a mouth of a graveyard
0:40It's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard
0:48And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
0:52Oh what did you see my blue eyed son
1:00What did you see my darling young one
1:06I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves around it
1:10I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
1:14I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
1:17I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin'
1:22A white ladder all covered with water
1:25I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
1:29I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
1:32And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard hard
1:40And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
1:48And what did you hear my blue eyed son
1:53What did you hear my darling young one
1:58I heard the sound of thunder that roared out a warning
2:02Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
2:06Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin'
2:10Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
2:13Heard one person starve many people laughin'
2:17Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
2:21Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
2:25And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard hard hard hard
2:33And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
2:37Oh who you did meet my blue eyed son
2:45Who did you meet my darling young one
2:51I met a young child beside a dead pony
2:56I met a white man who walked a black dog
2:59I met a young girl whose body was burning
3:03A young girl she gave me a rainbow
3:07I met one man who was wounded in love
3:11Another man who was wounded with hatred
3:13And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard
3:21And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
3:26Oh what'll you do now my blue eyed son
3:34What'll you do now my darling young one
3:40I'm goin' back out 'fore the rain starts fallin'
3:44Walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
3:47Where people are many and their hands are all empty
3:51Where pellets of poison are flooding the waters
3:54Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
3:58Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
4:02Where hunger is ugly where souls are forgotten
4:06Where black is the color and none is the number
4:10And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
4:14And reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it
4:17Then I'll stand in the ocean until I start sinking
4:21But I'll know my song well before I start singing
4:25And it's a hard it's a hard and it's a hard
4:32And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
4:40And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard
4:47And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
4:55And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a so hard
5:03And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
