Tambourine Man Lyrics

Tambourine Man lyrics

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 morning 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 sleepin
my weariness amazes me - i'm branded on my feet
i have no one to meet
and my ancient empty street's
too dead for dreamin
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 morning i'll come followin you

take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
my senses have been stripped
my hands cant feel to grip
my toes to numb to step
wait only for my bootheels to be wanderin
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 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 morning i'll come followin you

though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun
its not aimed at anyone
its just escaping on the run
and, but for the sky, there are no fences facin
and if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
to your tambourine in time
its just a ragged clown behind
i wouldnt pay it any mind
its just a shadow your seeing that he's chasing
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 morning i'll come followin you


then take me dissappearing 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 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 morning i'll come followin you
