Mr. Tambourine Man

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you



Though I know that evening's empire 

Has returned into sand

Vanished from my hand

Left me blindly here to stand 

But still not sleeping



My weariness amazes me

I am branded on my feet

I have no one to meet

And the ancient empty street's 

Too dead for dreaming



Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you



Take me on a trip upon your 

Magic swirling ship

My senses have been stripped

My hands can't feel to grip

My toes too numb to step

Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering



I'm ready to go anywhere

I am ready for to fade

Into my own parade

Cast your dancing spell my way

I promise to go under it



Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you



Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging

Madly through the sun

It's not aimed at anyone

It's just escaping on the run

And but for the sky, there are no fences facing



And if you hear vague traces 

Of skipping reels of rhyme

To your tambourine in time

I wouldn't pay it any mind

It's just a ragged clown behind

And if to you he looks blind

I wouldn't worry, it's just a shadow that you are seeing that he's chasing



Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going 

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you



Then take me disappearing 

Through the smoke rings of my mind

Down the foggy ruins of time

Far past the frozen leaves

The haunted, sheltered trees

Out to the windy beach

Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow



Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky 

With one hand waving free

Silhouetted by the sea

Circled by the circus sands

Driving memory and fate 

Deep beneath the waves

Let me forget about today until tomorrow



Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you



Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
