Mr. Tambourine Man
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going toHey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you
Though I know that evenin’s empire has returned into sandVanished from my handLeft me blindly here to stand but still not sleepingMy weariness amazes me, I’m branded on my feetI have no one to meetAnd the ancient empty street’s too dead for dreaming
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going toHey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin’ shipMy senses have been stripped, my hands can’t feel to gripMy toes too numb to stepWait only for my boot heels to be wanderin’I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fadeInto my own parade, cast your dancing spell my wayI promise to go under it
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going toHey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you
Though you might hear laughin’, spinnin’, swingin’ madly across the sunIt’s not aimed at anyone, it’s just escapin’ on the runAnd but for the sky there are no fences facin’And if you hear vague traces of skippin’ reels of rhymeTo your tambourine in time, it’s just a ragged clown behindI wouldn’t pay it any mindIt’s just a shadow you’re seein’ that he’s chasing
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going toHey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you
Then take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mindDown the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leavesThe haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beachFar from the twisted reach of crazy sorrowYes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving freeSilhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sandsWith all memory and fate driven deep beneath the wavesLet me forget about today until tomorrow
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going toHey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you
