MR. TAMBOURINE MAN

{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 morning I'll come followin' you.

Though I know that evening 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.

{chorus}

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling 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.

{chorus}

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin' swingin' madly through 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, I wouldn't pay it any mind,
it's just a ragged clown behind, and if to you he looks blind,
I wouldn’t worry, it's just a shadow he’s seein' that he's chasing.

{chorus}

Take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, soldier 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 memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
