It's A Hard Rain Gonna Fall

It's A Hard Rain Gonna Fall

(album: Leon Russell And The Shelter People - 1971)

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, yeah 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 bleeding,
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 blazing,
Ten thousand whispering and nobody listening,
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughing,
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
