A hard rain's a-gonna fall lyrics

Artist  : Bob dylan 
Song : A hard rain's a-gonna fall
 
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son ?
And where have you been my darling young one ?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty
mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked
highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a
graveyard
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and
it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son ?
And what did you see, my darling young one ?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all 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'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand takers whose tongues were all
broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young
children
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and
it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son ?
And what did you hear, my darling young one ?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a
warnin'
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the
whole world
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were
a-blazin'
I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody
listenin'
I 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, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a
hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, who did you 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
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded and hatred
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a
hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son ?
And what'll you do now my darling young one ?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts
a-fallin'
I'll walk to the deepths of the deepest black
forest
Where the people are a 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 executioner's face is always well
hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the
number
And I'll tell and think it and speak it and
breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can
see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start
sinkin'
But I'll know my songs well before I start
singin'
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and
it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
