Mr. Tambourine Man (Live at Royal Festival Hall, London, UK - May 1964)

Chorus Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come followin' you Verse 1 Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand Vanished from my hand Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping My weariness amazes me, I am branded on my feet I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming Chorus Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come followin' you Verse 2 Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to 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 own parade, cast your dancin' spell my way I promise to go under it Chorus Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come followin' you Verse 3 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 Chorus Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come followin' you Verse 4 And 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 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 all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves Let me forget about today until tomorrow Chorus Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come followin' you
