It's a Hard Rain Gonna Fall

[Verse 1]

Tell me where have you been, my blue eyed son?

Where have you been, my darling young one?

I've stumbled up on the side of twelve misty mountains

I've walked and I've crawled over six crooked highways

I've stepped out in the middle of seven sad forests

I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans

But I tell ya it's hard, yeah it's hard, well it's hard

Oh it's hard, girl

It's a hard rain's gonna fall

[Verse 2]

Tell me what did you see, my blue-eyed son?

What did you see, my darling young one?

I saw a black branch dripping with blood all around it

I saw a room full of men with their hammers bleeding

I saw a white ladder all covered with water

I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken

Well it's hard, yes it's hard, yes it's hard

Whoa yeah

It's a hard rain's gonna fall

[Verse 3]

Tell me what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?

What did you hear, my darling young one?

I heard one hundred drummers, hands that were blazing

Ten thousand whispering and nobody listening

I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughing

I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter

Well it's hard, yes it's hard, yeah it's hard

Oh it's hard yeah

It's a hard rain's gonna fall

[Verse 4]

Well what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?

What'll you do now, my darling young one?

Well I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest

Where the people are many and their hands are all empty

Where the pellets of poison are flooding the waters

But I'll know my song well and I sure won't forget it

‘Cause it's hard, yes it's hard, well it's hard

Oh yeah

It's a hard rain's gonna fall

[Outro]

Wah ooh

Wah ooh

Wah ooh

Wah ooh
