Lyrics

[00:06.93] Oh where have you been my blue-eyed son
[00:12.69] And where have you been my darling young one
[00:20.14] I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
[00:26.02] I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
[00:33.64] I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
[00:40.27] I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
[00:46.77] I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
[00:53.28] And it's a hard it's a hard it's a hard it's a hard
[01:00.97] And it's a hard rain's a-going to fall
[01:11.49] Oh what did you see my blue eyed son
[01:18.18] And what did you see my darling young one
[01:24.82] I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
[01:31.58] I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
[01:38.43] I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
[01:44.87] I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
[01:51.68] I saw a white ladder all covered with water
[01:58.28] I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
[02:04.16] I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
[02:09.92] And it's a hard it's a hard it's a hard and it's a hard
[02:17.42] It's a hard rain a-going to fall
[02:28.05] And what did you hear my blue-eyed son
[02:34.83] And what did you hear my darling young one
[02:41.46] I heard the sound of a thunder it roared out a warnin'
[02:47.20] I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
[02:55.09] I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
[03:01.72] I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
[03:07.65] I heard one person starve I heard many people laughin'
[03:14.79] Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
[03:21.54] I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
[03:26.60] And it's a hard it's a hard it's a hard it's a hard
[03:34.02] It's a hard rain's a-going to fall
[03:44.57] Oh what did you meet my blue-eyed son
[03:49.76] And who did you meet my darling young one
[03:56.77] I met a young child beside a dead pony
[04:03.89] I met a white man who walked a black dog
[04:10.71] I met a young woman whose body was burning
[04:17.46] I met a young girl she gave me a rainbow
[04:24.22] I met one man who was wounded in love
[04:31.04] I met another man who was wounded in hatred
[04:35.73] And it's a hard it's a hard it's a hard it's a hard
[04:43.43] It's a hard rain's a-going to fall
[04:56.13] And what'll you do now my blue-eyed son
[05:02.94] And what'll you do now my darling young one
[05:08.82] I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
[05:16.69] I'll walk to the deepths of the deepest dark forest
[05:23.38] Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
[05:30.14] Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
[05:36.89] Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
[05:43.53] And the executioner's face is always well hidden
[05:50.20] Where hunger is ugly where the souls are forgotten
[05:56.86] Where black is the color where none is the number
[06:03.23] And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
[06:09.68] And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it
[06:16.49] And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
[06:22.89] But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
[06:28.08] And it's a hard it's a hard it's a hard and it's a hard
[06:35.22] It's a hard rain's a-going to fall
