[00:05.187]Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
[00:12.189]And where have you been, my darling young one?
[00:18.935]I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
[00:24.692]I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
[00:32.129]I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
[00:38.631]I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
[00:44.878]I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
[00:51.380]And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
[00:59.634]It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[01:08.888]Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
[01:16.887]And what did you see, my darling young one?
[01:23.389]I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
[01:30.632]I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
[01:37.632]I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
[01:43.634]I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
[01:50.382]I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
[01:58.136]I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
[02:05.137]I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
[02:11.324]And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
[02:17.314]It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[02:26.822]And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
[02:35.003]And what did you hear, my darling young one?
[02:41.510]I heard the sound of a thunder, that roared out a warnin',
[02:47.756]I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
[02:54.756]I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
[03:01.003]I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
[03:07.505]I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
[03:13.761]I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
[03:20.508]I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
[03:27.509]And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
[03:33.754]It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[03:43.252]Oh, what did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
[03:51.008]And who did you meet, my darling young one?
[03:54.003]I met a young child beside a dead pony,
[04:01.757]I met a white man who walked a black dog,
[04:10.202]I met a young woman whose body was burning,
[04:17.645]I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
[04:24.392]I met one man who was wounded in love,
[04:30.149]I met another man who was wounded in hatred,
[04:37.142]And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
[04:44.151]It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
[04:55.095]And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
[05:02.352]And what'll you do now, my darling young one?
[05:09.595]I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
[05:15.597]I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest,
[05:23.098]Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
[05:30.343]Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
[05:37.100]Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
[05:44.100]And the executioner's face is always well hidden,
[05:49.849]Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten,
[05:57.104]Where black is the color, where none is the number,
[06:04.093]And I'll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it,
[06:10.095]And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it,
[06:16.597]Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
[06:23.598]But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
[06:30.345]And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
[06:37.346]It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
