"Mister Tambourine Man" Hey! Mister Tambourine Man play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm goin' to. Hey! Mister Tambourine Man play a song for me In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come following 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 sleepin'! 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 dreamin'. 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 bootheels to be wanderin'. 15 I'm ready to go qnywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancin' spell my way I promise to go under it. 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 chasin'. Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins of time Far past the frozen leaves The haunted frigtened trees Out to the windy beach Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand wavin' 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 mornin' I'll come followin' you. -- Bob Dylan |
