(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)
