A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Live at Montreal Forum, Montreal, Quebec - December 1975
Lyrics
Where've you been My blue-eyed son? Where have you been My darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains Walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways Been in the middle of seven sad forests Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans Been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard And it's a hard, well it's a hard Well it's a hard, and it's a hard Well it's a hard rain gonna fall ♪ What did you see My blue-eyed son? What did you see My darling young one? Saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it Saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it Saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin' Saw a room full of men with their hammers bleedin' Saw a white ladder covered in water Saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken Guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children And it's a hard, well it's a hard Well it's a hard, and it's a hard Oh, there's a hard rain gonna fall ♪ What did you hear My blue-eyed son? What did you hear My darling young one? Heard the sound of the thunder that roared out a warning Heard the roar of a wave, could drown the whole world One person starve or a many people laughin' Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter Heard the sound of a clown crying in the alley And it's a hard, well it's a hard And it's a hard, well it's a hard Well it's a hard rain gonna fall Who did you meet My blue-eyed son? Who did you meet My darling young one? Met a young child beside a dead pony Met a white man who walked a black dog Met one woman whose body was burning I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow I met one man wounded in love Met another man wounded in hatred And it's a hard, well it's a hard Well it's a hard, and it's a hard And it's a hard rain gonna fall What'll you do now ♪ My darling young one? I'm goin' back out, 'fore the rain starts a-fallin' 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 Where the executioner's face is always well-hidden Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten Where black is the color, none is the number And I'll tell it and think it, and speak it and breathe it Reflect from the mountain, 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, well it's a hard Well it's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain gonna fall
