Mr. Tambourine Man
Judy Collins

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 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 the ancient empty street's too dead for dreamin'


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 followin' you


Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling 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 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, 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 followin' you


Though you might hear laughin'

Spinnin', swingin' madly through 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 skipping reels of rhyme

To your Tambourine in time, I wouldn't pay it any mind

It's just a ragged clown behind

And if to you he looks blind, I wouldn't worry

It's just a shadow he's seein' that he's chasin'


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 followin' you


Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind

Down the foggy ruins of time far past the frozen leaves

The haunted sheltered 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 memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves

Let me forget about today until tomorrow


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 followin' you
