McGuinn, Hillman and Clark: "Mr. Tambourine Man"


Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman and Gene Clark

then catch me disppearing
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
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 following you

--bob dylan (from "mr. tambourine man ")
