Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and
There is no place that I'm going to
I say, hey, Mr. Tambourine Man
You're to play a song for me
In my jingle-jangle morning
I come following you
Though you might hear
Your 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
Yes, and if you hear your vague traces
Of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time
It's just a ragged clown behind
Oh, I wouldn't pay it any mind
It's just a shadow that
You have been seeing that he's chasing
Ah, yes, hey, Mr. Tambourine Man
Play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and
There is no place that I'm going to
Yes sir, hey, Mr. Tambourine Man
Why don't you play a song for me
In my jingle-jangle morning
I'll come following you
Yes, and take me disappearing
Through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time
Far past those frozen leaves
Yes, and all those frightened, haunted trees
Take me out to that windy beach
I'd like to go far
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Ah, yes, you know that dance
Beneath the diamond sky
With just one hand waving free
Silhouetted by all those trees
Circled by the circus sands
With all of that memory and fate
Driven deep, deep beneath the waves
I'd like to forget
Hey, let me forget about today until tomorrow
Ah, yes sir, hey, hey, Mr. Tambourine Man
Why don't you play a song for me
You see, I'm not sleepy and
There is no place that I'm going to
Ah, yes sir, hey, hey, Mr. Tambourine Man
Just once more play a song for me
In my jingle-jangle morning
I come following you
