Mr Tambourine Man – Bob Dylan

hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me

i'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to

hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me

in the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin 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 sleepin

my weariness amazes me - i'm branded on my feet

i have no one to meet

and my ancient empty street's

too dead for dreamin

hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me

i'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to

hey mister 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 swirling ship

my senses have been stripped

my hands cant feel to grip

my toes to numb to step

wait only for my bootheels 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 mister tambourine man, play a song for me

i'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to

hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me

in the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin you

though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across

the sun

its not aimed at anyone

its just escaping on the run

and, but for the sky, there are no fences facin

and if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme

to your tambourine in time

its just a ragged clown behind

i wouldnt pay it any mind

its just a shadow your seeing that he's chasing

hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me

i'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to

hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me

in the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin you

then take me dissappearing 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 mister tambourine man, play a song for me

i'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to

hey mister tambourine man, play a song for me

in the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin you
