[00:10.16]Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
[00:14.90]Where have you been, my darling young one?
[00:21.46]I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
[00:25.63]Walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
[00:29.41]Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
[00:33.19]Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
[00:36.60]I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
[00:40.42]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard)
[00:43.79] And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard)
[00:47.55]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[00:52.52]Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
[01:00.44]What did you see, my darling young one?
[01:06.09]I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it,
[01:10.77]I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
[01:14.53]I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
[01:18.05]I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
[01:22.45]A white ladder all covered with water,
[01:25.47]I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
[01:29.24]I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
[01:33.00]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard)
[01:36.32]And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard)
[01:40.62]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[01:48.82]And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
[01:53.01]What did you hear, my darling young one?
[01:58.87]I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
[02:02.79]Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
[02:06.37]Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
[02:10.18]Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
[02:14.09]Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
[02:17.56]Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
[02:21.26]Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
[02:25.59]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard)
[02:28.85]And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard)
[02:33.67]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[02:37.82]Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
[02:45.06]Who did you meet, my darling young one?
[02:51.28]I met a young child beside a dead pony,
[02:55.96]I met a white man who walked a black dog,
[02:59.88]I met a young woman whose body was burning,
[03:03.55]I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
[03:07.41]I met one man who was wounded in love,
[03:10.88]I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
[03:14.83]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard)
[03:17.85]And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard)
[03:21.81]It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[03:29.00]Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
[03:34.05]What'll you do now, my darling young one?
[03:40.19]I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
[03:44.20]I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
[03:47.60]Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
[03:51.41]Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
[03:55.03]Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
[03:58.65]Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
[04:02.53]Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
[04:06.29]Where black is the color, where none is the number,
[04:10.05]And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
[04:13.71]And reflect it from the mou
[04:16.18]ntain so all souls can see it,
[04:17.73]Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
[04:21.31]But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
[04:24.92]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard)
[04:28.74]And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard)
[04:32.41]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[04:40.26]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard)
[04:43.98]And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard)
[04:47.94]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[04:55.63]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard)
[04:59.23]And it's so hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard)
[05:03.05]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
