Brian Ferry - A hard rain's gonna fall 1974 <br /> <br />(Written by Bob Dylan in 1962) <br /> <br />... my darling young one <br />I heard the sound of thunder that roared out a warning <br />Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world <br />Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin' <br />Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin' <br />Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin' <br />Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter <br />Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley <br />And it's a hard, and it's a hard, and it's a hard hard hard <br />rain's a-gonna fall <br /> <br />Oh who you did meet, my blue eyed son? <br />Who did you meet, my darling young one? <br />I met a young child beside a dead pony <br />I met a man who walked a black dog <br />I met a young girl whose body was burning <br />A young girl, she gave me a rainbow <br />I met one man who was wounded in love <br />Another man who was wounded with hatred <br />And it's a hard, and it's a hard, and it's a hard <br />And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall <br /> <br />Oh what'll you do now, my blue eyed son? <br />What'll you do now, my darling young one? <br />I'm goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin' <br />Walk throught the depths of the deepest black forest <br />Where the people are many and their hands are all empty <br />Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters <br />Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison <br />Where the executioners face is always well hidden <br />Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten <br />Where black is the colour, and none is the number <br />And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it <br />And reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it <br />Then I'll stand in the ocean until I start sinking <br />But I'll know my song well before I start singing <br />And it's a hard, and it's a hard, and it's a hard hard hard <br />And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall <br /> <br />And it's a hard, and it's a hard, and it's a hard hard hard <br />And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall <br />And it's a hard, and it's a hard, and it's so hard <br />And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
