Mr. Tambourine Man - Witmark Demo - 1964

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'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 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 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 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
 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'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
 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 mornin' I'll come followin' you
