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 morning I'll come following 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 morning I'll come following you
So 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 the fame
Into my own parade, cast a dance and 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 morning I'll come following 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 before the sky there are no fences facing
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels
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 see on 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 morning I'll come following you
Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy runes of time
Far past the frozen leaves
In a haunted fright
Out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yet it dies beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sounds
With all memory of me
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow
Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
If I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
If 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 morning
I'll come following you
