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 evenings empire has returned into sand,
|
Vanished from my hand,
|
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
|
My weariness amazes me, I'm 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,
|
May hands can't feel to grip,
|
My toes too numb to step,
|
Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering.
|
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm 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 to.
|
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 across 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.
|
It's just a ragged clown behind,
|
I wouldn't pay it any mind,
|
It's just a shadow you're 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 to.
|
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
|
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.
|
|
Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind.
|
Down the foggy ruins of time,
|
far past the frozen leaves,
|
The haunted frightened trees,
|
Out to the windy bench,
|
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
|
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
|
With one hand waving free
|
Silhoutted by the sea
|
Circled by the circus sands
|
With all memory of fate
|
Driven 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.
