Bob Dylan tribute re-write of Hard Rain.

Where have you been my darling one?
Where have you been my hazel-eyed son?
I've been to the place where men walk on water.  I've been to the land where the land cowers down.  I've been across mountains that stab at the sky.  And I've seen rolling waves that rose up so high.
It's been a life full of lows but so high.

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, oh so hard, it's a hard rain that's gonna fall.
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, oh so hard, it's a hard rain that's gonna fall.


What have you seen my darling one?
What have you seen my hazel-eyed son?
I've seen snowy glaciers in moonlight at midnight.  I've seen deepest forest with moss to your knees.  I've seen water forever with no land in sight. I've seen dirty cities with nothing but blight.

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, oh so hard, it's a hard rain that's gonna fall.
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, oh so hard, it's a hard rain that's gonna fall.

What have you heard my darling one?
What have you heard my hazel-eyed son?
I've heard Angels cry joy at misty sunrises.  I've heard wailing of children who thought it was play.  I've heard voices in song that lit up the night.  I've heard silence in sorrow and it was alright.

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, oh so hard, it's a hard rain that's gonna fall.
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, oh so hard, it's a hard rain that's gonna fall.

What will you do my darling one?
What will you do my hazel-eyed son?
I'll just keep on walking till I find the doorway.  A place so exquisite I'll walk not one more way.  I'll walk and I'll run and dance and I'll sing.  For it's been so wild and it's how I've been.

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, oh so hard, it's a hard rain that's gonna fall.
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, oh so hard, it's a hard rain that's gonna fall.


Thank you Bob Dylan for the structure and some of the words of my little poem.
