It's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

It's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Leon Russell

Tell me where have you been my blue eyed son

Where have you been my darling young one

I've stumbled up on the side of twelve misty mountains

I've walked and I've crawled over six crooked highways

I've stepped out in the middle of seven sad forests

I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans

But I tell ya it's hard well it's hard

Oh it's hard girl

It's a hard rain's gonna fall

Tell me what did you see my blue eyed son

What did you see my darling young one

I saw a black branch dripping with blood all around it

I saw a room full of men with their hammers bleedin'

I saw a white ladder all covered with water

I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken

Well it's hard yes it's hard yes it's hard

Oh yeah

It's a hard rain's gonna fall

Tell me what did you hear my blue eyed son

What did you hear my darling young one

I heard one hundred drummers hands that were blazin'

Ten thousand 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

Well it's hard yes it's hard yes it's hard

Oh it's hard yeah

It's a hard rain's gonna fall

Well what'll you do now my blue eyed son

What'll you do now my darling young one

Well I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest

Where the people are many and their hands are all empty

Where the pellets of poison are flooding the waters

But I'll know my song well and I sure won't forget it

Cos it's hard yes it's hard well it's hard

Oh yeah

It's a hard rain's gonna fall

Wah hoo

Wah hoo

Wah hoo

Wah hoo
