Lyrics

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 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 the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
 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
 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
 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 thru 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, I wouldn't pay it any mind
 It's just a ragged clown behind
 And if to you heeled grimes
 I wouldn't worry it's just a shadow you're 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 mornin' I'll come followin' you
 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
 Driving memory and fate 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 mornin' I'll come followin' you
