Mr. Tambourine Man by Johnny Rivers
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,
And in that 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 amazin' me, I'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
The ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
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 for a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
All my senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel
to grip,
My toe's 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
Unto 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.
