Judy Collins - Mr. Tambourine Man Lyrics
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going toHey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' youThough I know that evening's empire has returned into sandVanished from my hand, left me blindly here to standBut still not sleepin'My weariness amazes meI'm branded on my feet, I have no one to meetAnd the ancient empty street's too dead for dreamin'Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going toHey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' youTake me on a trip upon your magic swirling shipMy senses have been strippedMy hands can't feel the grip, my toes too numb to stepWait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fadeInto my own parade, cast your dancing spell my wayI promise to go under itHey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going toHey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' youThough you might hear laughin'Spinnin', swingin' madly through the sunIt's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the runAnd but for the sky there are no fences facin'And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhymeTo your Tambourine in time, I wouldn't pay it any mindIt's just a ragged clown behindAnd if to you he looks blind, I wouldn't worryIt's just a shadow he's seein' that he's chasin'Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going toHey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' youTake me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mindDown the foggy ruins of time far past the frozen leavesThe haunted sheltered trees, out to the windy beachFar from the twisted reach of crazy sorrowYes, to dance beneath the diamond skyWith one hand waving freeSilhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sandsWith memory and fate driven deep beneath the wavesLet me forget about today until tomorrowHey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going toHey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you
