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 12 misty mountains I've walked and I 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 10,000 miles in the mouth of a graveyard And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, 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 10,000 talkers 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 the thunder that roared out a warning 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 10,000 whisperin' and nobody listenin' I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin' I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter I 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 It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall Oh, what did you meet, my blue-eyed son? And 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, her 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 in hatred And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, it's a hard 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 depths of the deepest dark forest Where the people are many and their hands are all empty Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters Where their home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison And the executioner's face is always well-hidden Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten Where black is the colour, where none is the number And I'll tell it and speak it, and think it and breathe it And reflect from the mountains, so all souls can see it And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin' But I'll know my song well before I start singing 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

If you like the feeling of a hard rain falling I have a sea full, I can give you an ocean If you like the feeling of a hard rain falling I have a sea full, I can give you an ocean If you like the feeling of a hard rain falling I have a sea full, I can give you an ocean If you like the feeling of a hard rain falling I have a sea full, I can give you an ocean We shouldn't have to work so hard to break this wave in our way Shouldn't wanna walk away so you won't see the fear I face Every time I look at you standing still, I wanna wait But you never tell me no, baby wait, baby stay We shouldn't have to work so hard to break this wave in our way Shouldn't wanna walk away so you won't see the fear I face Every time I look at you standing still, I wanna wait But you never tell me no, baby wait, baby stay So I'm trying to get us back together though we never been apart Tryna find a shelter from the weather before a rain came down on us You say it like it's easy but it's not easy, baby Do you see me? Do you want me? Do you need me to be near you? So you got somebody next to your body, somebody next to your body Keeping me up, keeping me down, keeping me up Keeping me down, keeping me up, down, up, down Keeping me up, keeping me down Love, love is a feeling If you feel it, You feel it (it's not just a feeling, like it's raining) If you like the feeling of a hard rain falling I have a sea full, I can give you an ocean If there's no feeling, no meaning, say something Did I mean something to you? You show nothing Was it real? Did I block it? It's my fault we lost it And look at us now, us is holding us hostage
