Bob Dylan - a hard rain’s a gonna fall

노래의 화자는 자신의 파란 눈의 아들에게 자신이 겪은 힘든 여정과 다양한 고통을 질문하고 답하며 이야기를 전한다
그는 새로운 생명, 고독한 길, 그리고 폭력적인 현실을 목격했으며, 이러한 모든 문제들이 결국 힘든 비를 예고하고 있다

Oh, where have you been my blue-eyed son?
Oh, 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 stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's a hard
And it's a hard
And it's a hard
And it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn babe with wild wolves all 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'
I saw 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
And it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
