Mr. Tambourine Man Songtext
von Judy Collins

Though I know that evening′s empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand, left me blindly here to stand
But still not sleepin'

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 dreamin'

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I′m not sleepy and there ain′t 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

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped
My hands can′t feel the 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

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain′t 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

Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time far past the frozen leaves
The haunted twisted trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the cracy reach of twisted sorrow

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow


Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain′t 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
