Intro: |
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. |
Bridge: |
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. |
