[Chorus]
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 mornin' 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 sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I am branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And my ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
[Chorus] Hey Mr. Tambourine Man...
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 dancin' spell my way
^I promise to go under it
[Chorus]
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 mornin' I'll come followin' 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
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 sha--dow you're ^SEEing that he's chasing
[Chorus]
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 mornin' I'll come followin' you
And 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 to^day until tomorrow
