Standard (EADGBE)

 I was thinkin' of a series of dreams

 Where nothing comes up to the top

 Everything stays down where it's wounded

 And comes to a permanent stop

 Wasn't thinking of anything specific

 Like in a dream when someone wakes up and screams

 Nothing too very scientific

 Just thinkin' of a series of dreams

Thinkin' of a series of dreams

Where the time and the tempo drag (fly)*

And there's no exit in any direction

Except the one that you can't see with your eyes

Wasn't makin' and great connection

Wasn't fallin' for any intricate scheme

Nothing that would pass inspection

I's just thinkin' of a series of dreams

Chorus

 Dreams where the umbrella is folded

 And into the path you are hurled

 And the cards are no good that you're holdin'

 Unless they're from another world

In one, the surface was frozen

In another, I witnessed a crime

In one, I was running, and in another

All I seemed to be doing was climb

Wasn't lookin' for any special assistance

Not going through any great extremes

I'd already gone the distance

Just thinkin' of a series of dreams

Chorus

 I'd already gone the distance

 Just thinkin' of a series of dreams

 Just thinkin' of a series of dreams

 Just thinkin' of a series of dreams

NOTE: I saw one version of lyrics that had "fly" instead of "drag". Fly

would make it rhyme, but Dylan obviously says drag.
