A Hard Rain's A-gonna Fall Lyrics - Laura Marling

[Verse 1] 

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? 

And where have you been, my darling young one? 

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains 

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

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

[Chorus] 

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

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall 

[Verse 2] 

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? 

And what did you see, my darling young one? 

I saw a newborn baby with wolves all around it 

I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it 

I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken

[Chorus] 

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

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall 

[Verse 3] 

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? 

And what did you hear, my darling young one? 

I heard the sound of thunder that roared out a warning 

I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughing 

I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazing 

[Chorus] 

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

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

[Verse 4] 

And what will you do, my blue-eyed son? 

And what will you do, my darling young one? 

I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest 

Where the people are many and their hands are all empty 

Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten 

Where black is the colour and none is the number 

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

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

[Chorus] 

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

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
