Hey! Mr. Tambourine Manplay a song for me
I m not sleepy and there is no place I m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Manplay a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I ll come followin you.
Though I know that evenin s empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes meI m branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street s too dead for dreaming.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Manplay a song for me
I m not sleepy and there is no place I m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Manplay a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I ll come followin you.
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin ship
My senses have been strippedmy hands can t feel to grip
My toes too numb to stepwait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin .
I m ready to go anywhereI m ready for to fade
Into my own paradecast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Manplay a song for me
I m not sleepy and there is no place I m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Manplay a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I ll come followin you.
Though you might hear laughin spinnin swingin madly across the sun
It s not aimed at anyoneit 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 timeit s just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn t pay it any mindit s just a shadow you re
Seein that he s chasing.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Manplay a song for me
I m not sleepy and there is no place I m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Manplay a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I ll come followin you.
Then take me disappearin through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of timefar past the frozen leaves
The hauntedfrightened treesout to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yesto dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the seacircled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Manplay a song for me
I m not sleepy and there is no place I m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Manplay a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I ll come followin you.
