A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall (Remastered 1999)-Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry

[00:10.16]Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? [00:14.90]Where have you been, my darling young one? [00:21.46]I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, [00:25.63]Walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, [00:29.41]Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, [00:33.19]Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, [00:36.60]I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, [00:40.42]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard) [00:43.79] And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard) [00:47.55]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. [00:52.52]Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? [01:00.44]What did you see, my darling young one? [01:06.09]I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it, [01:10.77]I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, [01:14.53]I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', [01:18.05]I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', [01:22.45]A white ladder all covered with water, [01:25.47]I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, [01:29.24]I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, [01:33.00]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard) [01:36.32]And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard) [01:40.62]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. [01:48.82]And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? [01:53.01]What did you hear, my darling young one? [01:58.87]I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin', [02:02.79]Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, [02:06.37]Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', [02:10.18]Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', [02:14.09]Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', [02:17.56]Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, [02:21.26]Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, [02:25.59]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard) [02:28.85]And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard) [02:33.67]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. [02:37.82]Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son? [02:45.06]Who did you meet, my darling young one? [02:51.28]I met a young child beside a dead pony, [02:55.96]I met a white man who walked a black dog, [02:59.88]I met a young woman whose body was burning, [03:03.55]I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow, [03:07.41]I met one man who was wounded in love, [03:10.88]I met another man who was wounded with hatred, [03:14.83]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard) [03:17.85]And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard) [03:21.81]It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. [03:29.00]Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? [03:34.05]What'll you do now, my darling young one? [03:40.19]I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin', [03:44.20]I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest, [03:47.60]Where the people are many and their hands are all empty, [03:51.41]Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters, [03:55.03]Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison, [03:58.65]Where the executioner's face is always well hidden, [04:02.53]Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten, [04:06.29]Where black is the color, where none is the number, [04:10.05]And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it, [04:13.71]And reflect it from the mou [04:16.18]ntain so all souls can see it, [04:17.73]Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin', [04:21.31]But I'll know my song well before I start singin', [04:24.92]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard) [04:28.74]And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard) [04:32.41]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. [04:40.26]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard) [04:43.98]And it's a hard,(hard), and it's a hard,(hard) [04:47.94]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. [04:55.63]And it's a hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard) [04:59.23]And it's so hard,(hard),and it's a hard,(hard) [05:03.05]And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
