[00:07.140]Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
[00:13.410]Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
[00:19.850]I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
[00:26.660]I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
[00:33.330]I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
[00:39.930]I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
[00:46.480]I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
[00:52.970]And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
[01:00.810]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[01:11.420]Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
[01:18.020]Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
[01:24.500]I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
[01:31.260]I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
[01:38.110]I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
[01:44.630]I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
[01:51.420]I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
[01:57.980]I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
[02:04.660]I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
[02:09.660]And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
[02:15.470]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[02:27.920]And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
[02:34.830]And what did you hear, my darling young one?
[02:41.120]I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
[02:48.070]Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
[02:54.770]Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
[03:01.350]Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
[03:07.990]Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
[03:14.590]Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
[03:21.380]Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
[03:26.080]And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
[03:31.560]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[03:44.330]Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
[03:49.580]Who did you meet, my darling young one?
[03:56.820]I met a young child beside a dead pony,
[04:03.500]I met a white man who walked a black dog,
[04:10.540]I met a young woman whose body was burning,
[04:17.000]I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
[04:23.960]I met one man who was wounded in love,
[04:30.530]I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
[04:35.300]And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
[04:43.190]It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
[04:55.730]Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
[05:02.420]Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
[05:09.400]I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
[05:16.130]I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
[05:22.990]Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
[05:29.530]Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
[05:36.290]Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
[05:42.720]Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
[05:49.810]Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
[05:56.200]Where black is the color, where none is the number,
[06:03.290]And I'll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it,
[06:09.190]And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
[06:15.840]Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
[06:22.750]But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
[06:27.030]It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
