But Still Not Sleeping



Bob Dylan: Mr. Tambourine Man



Judy Collins: Mr. Tambourine Man





then take me disappearing
through the smokerings
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
