A Hard Rain's A - Gonna Fall Lyrics - Singles - Bryan Ferry

Oh where have 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 

Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests 

Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans 

I've been ten thousand miles in a mouth of a graveyard 

It's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard 

And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall 

Oh what did you see, my blue eyed son? 

What did you see, my darling young one? 

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves 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' 

A white ladder all covered with water 

I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken 

I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children 

And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard hard 

And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall 

And what did you hear, my blue eyed son? 

What did you hear, my darling young one 

I heard the sound of thunder that roared out a warning 

Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world 

Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin' 

Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin' 

Heard one person starve, many people laughin' 

Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter 

Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley 

And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard hard hard hard 

And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall 

Oh who you did meet, my blue eyed son? 

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 girl whose body was burning 

A young girl, she gave me a rainbow 

I met one man who was wounded in love 

Another man who was wounded with hatred 

And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard 

And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall 

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

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

I'm goin' back out 'fore the rain starts fallin' 

Walk to the depths of the deepest black forest 

Where people are many and their hands are all empty 

Where pellets of poison are flooding the waters 

Where the 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, and none is the number 

And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it 

And reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it 

Then I'll stand in the ocean until I start sinking 

But I'll know my song well before I start singing 

And it's a hard it's a hard and it's a hard 

And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall 

And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard 

And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall 

And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a so hard 

And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
