A Hard Rains A Lyrics

song lyrics A Hard Rain s A-gonna Fall lyrics (feat. Rufus Wainwright & Shawn Colvin) (Bob Dylan) [Originally by Bob Dylan] 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. song lyrics
