Mr. Tambourine Man

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

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

Here Without You

Daytime just makes me feel lonely
At night I can only dream about you
Girl you're on my mind nearly all of the time
It's so hard being here without you

Words in my head keep repeating things that you said
Wen I was with you
And I wonder is it true do you feel the same way too
It's so hard being here without you, being here without you

Though I know it won't last I'll see you some day
It seems as though that the day will come never
But there's one thing I'll swear though you're far away
I'll be thinking about you forever

The streets that I walk on depress me
The ones that were happy when I was with you
Still with all the friends I know and with all the things I do
It's so hard being here without you being here without you

It's No Use

It's no use use saying your gonna stay if you don't want to be all mine
I haven't got room for somebody who's gonna hurt me all the time
Somebody who couldn't see all the love I was trying to give
It's no use saying your gonna stay if you don't want our love to live

It's no use keeping you around if you don't want me all the way
There's somebody new who can found and I'll find her someday
And she will be everything all the love she has she'll want to give
It's no use saying your gonna stay if you don't want our love to live

Oh I should be good to you but I can't cause
I was really true to you but you only hurt me more

She Has A Way

I was really good to her but how she broke my heart
She looked so young and she seemed so sweet but I was wrong from the start
She has a way about her that makes her run around
Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

Oh oh, oh oh

I waited so impatiently it didn't do my mind any good
I never thought she would set me free I did all the things that I should
Then all at once I looked for her but she could not be found
Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

Oh oh, oh oh

I didn't think that I
Could wait for her very long
But I didn't realize
My love for her was so strong

She might be going from heart to heart she might be putting them down
The way she took it all apart made me the laugh of the town
She has a way about her that makes her run around
Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Turn! Turn! Turn!

To every thing, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

Satisfied Mind

How many times have you heard someone say:
If I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Everything I could wish for to get a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happend, I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

Money won't buy back your youth when you're old
A friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

When my life is over, my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones will weep, there's no doubt.
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.

If Your Gone

If I need you to me your everything
If I have you if I love you just the same
If your here the night is likely going to fall
If your gone I'll see the daylight in that song

If I stand alone understanding what is now
If I ever need someone to show me how
If the daylight can be hidden by the sun
If your gone then I'll know why I miss someone

If I love you if I know how much I care
If I find the things you wanted anywhere
If I know you I may never know your name
If your gone then there is nothing that remains

Set You Free This Time

The first thing that I heard you say when you were standing there
Set in your way was that you were not blind
You were sure to make a fool of me cause there was nothing there
That you could see that could go beyond your mind
Now who's standing at the door remembering the days before
And asking please be kind
It isn't how it was set up to be but I've set you free this time

I have never been so far out in front that I could ever ask for what I want
And have it any time
Knowing this you found a thought for me that told you just what I should be
And there I stood behind
With all the ones that went before and memories that always seems to
Tear me from my mind
In front of what it is you seem me to be I've set you free this time

I could never find a chance to choose between a way to win or a
thing to lose because there was your stand
On top of all the love you took
There was only something you can look at lying in your hand
Now who's wondering what has changed and why it can not be arranged
To have each thing work fine
It isn't how it was set up to be but I'll set you free this time

I See You

I see you, under there behind your hair everywhere
I see you

I see you, turned on eyes can't tell lies, empathise
I see you

Warm sliding sun through the cave of your hair
Wind washing fields, kind of space living there
I see you

I know you, met before seventh floor, first world war
I know you

Who lives there, tell old fair I'm aware that she cares
Who lives there

Green specks bright spiralling out in the sky
Catch my mind, turn my head, have to look, don't know why
Who lives there

We thought talked
For a while they just smile just a silent thought talk

I see you, sun is there behind your hair everywhere
I see you, I see you

Why?

Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby
Keep sayin' no to her not even maybe
Why? Why?
You say there's a limit there, she can't go past that
She don't believe you, she don't think that's where it's at
Why? Why?

You say she can't change that, it's the way you've always done it
She don't care about that, she thinks you've just begun it
Why? Why?

You say it's a dead old world, dull and unforgiving
I don't know where you live, but you're not living
Why? Why?

Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby
Keep sayin' no to her not even maybe
Why? Why?

Eight Miles High

Eight miles high and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own

Nowhere is there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for its sound
In places small faces unbound

Round the squares huddled in storms
Some laughing some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
Some living, some standing alone
