Mr Tambourine Man de Bob Dylan
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 morning
I’ll come followin’ you.
Though I know that evenin’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’m branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street’s
too dead for dreaming.
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 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.
Though you might hear laughin’,
spinnin’, swingin’ madly across
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 skippin’ 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
Seein’ that he’s chasing.
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 morning
I’ll come followin’ you.
Then take me disappearin’
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.
