[00:18.82]Where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
[00:22.36]where have you been, my darling young one?
[00:28.95]I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
[00:32.60]I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
[00:36.82]I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
[00:39.97]I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
[00:43.45]I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
[00:45.30]And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
[00:53.94]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[01:00.06]what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
[01:03.55]what did you see, my darling young one?
[01:09.78]I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
[01:13.36]I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
[01:16.80]I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
[01:20.70]I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
[01:24.29]I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
[01:27.66]I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
[01:31.52]I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
[01:34.91]And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
[01:41.73]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[01:48.09]what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
[01:51.54]what did you hear, my darling young one?
[01:57.77]I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
[02:01.38]Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
[02:05.14]Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
[02:08.66]Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
[02:12.19]Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
[02:15.44]And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard,it's a hard,
[02:22.51]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[02:28.61]who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
[02:32.06]Who did you meet, my darling young one?
[02:38.38]I met a young child beside a dead pony,
[02:41.82]I met a white man who walked a black dog,
[02:45.20]I met a young woman whose body was burning,
[02:48.83]I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
[02:52.46]I met one man who was wounded in love,
[02:55.98]I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
[02:59.06]And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
[03:05.96]It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[03:11.67]
[03:40.82]what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
[03:44.00]what'll you do now, my darling young one?
[03:50.02]I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
[03:53.65]I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest,
[03:56.98]Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
[04:00.45]Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
[04:04.07]Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
[04:07.69]Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
[04:11.20]Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
[04:14.54]Where black is the color, where none is the number,
[04:18.07]And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
[04:21.70]And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
[04:25.29]Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
[04:28.58]But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
[04:31.85]And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,it's a hard,
[04:38.66]It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
