Mr. tambourine man

(chorus)
hey, mr. tambourine man, play a song for me,
i'm not sleepy and there ain't 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 evenings 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.
(repeat chorus)
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship.
my senses have been stripped,
may hands can't feel to grip,
my toes too numb to step,
wait only for my bootheels to be wandering.
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.
(repeat chorus)
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 but for the sky there are no fences facing.
and if you hear vague traces of skipping 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 seeing that he's chasing.
(repeat chorus)
Take me disappearing 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 bench,
far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
with one hand waving free
silhoutted by the sea
circled by the circus sands
with all memory of fate
driven deep beneath the waves
let me forget about today until tomorrow.
(repeat chorus)
