Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
|
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
|
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
|
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
|
Though I know that evenin'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'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 is no place I'm going to
|
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
|
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
|
|
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' 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 wanderin'
|
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 is no place I'm going to
|
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
|
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
|
|
Though you might hear laughin', spinnin' swingin' madly across the sun
|
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
|
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'
|
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' 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
|
Seein' that he's chasing.
|
|
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
|
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
|
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
|
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
|
|
Then take me disappearin' 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 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
|
With all memory and 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 is no place I'm going to
|
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
|
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
