Mr. Tambourine Man

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 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'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 following 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 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 is 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 are seeing 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

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 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 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
