And take me disappearing 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

Has there ever been prose half as beautiful written for a song. [Mr Tambourine Man verse 4]

    [Verse 3] Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun It’s not aimed at anyone, it’s just escaping on the run And but for the sky there are no fences facing And if you hear vague traces of skipping 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 seeing that he’s chasing

    Heres the runner up btw

    I’m really bad at choosing favorites of any type of media, but I’ve been listening to ‘Dirge’ a lot recently. The entire song is great but the first verse is definitely my favorite.
