(chorus) HeyMr. Tambourine Manplay a song for me I m not sleepy and there ain t no place I m going to. HeyMr. Tambourine Manplay 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 meI 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 anywhereI m ready for to fade Into my own parade. Cast your dancing spell my wayI promise to go under it. (repeat chorus) Though you might hear laughingspinningswinging 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. Yesto 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) |
