Mr Tambourine Man

Title: Mr Tambourine Man

Artist: The Byrds

 

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 following you.

Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into the 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.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship

My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel the 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 onw parade cast your dancing 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 chasing

Then take me dissapearin' through the smoke rings of my mind

Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves

The haunted, frightended 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 drive deep beneath the waves

Let me forget about today until tomorrow
