[00:05.00] Title: Tangled Up In Blue
[00:10.00] Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
[00:12.12] I was layin' in bed
[00:15.00] Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
[00:17.50] If her hair was still red.
[00:20.00] Her folks they said our lives together
[00:22.75] Sure was gonna be rough
[00:24.79] They never did like mama's homemade dress
[00:27.00] Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
[00:30.05] And i was standin' on the side of the road
[00:32.38] Rain fallin' on my shoes
[00:35.02] Heading out for the east coast
[00:37.25] Lord knows i've paid some dues gettin' through,
[00:42.28] Tangled up in blue.
[00:53.51] She was married when we first met
[00:56.55] Soon to be divorced
[00:58.08] I helped her out of a jam, i guess,
[01:00.00] But i used a little too much force.
[01:03.00] We drove that car as far as we could
[01:05.88] Abandoned it out west
[01:08.71] Split up on a dark sad night
[01:10.00] Both agreeing it was best.
[01:12.77] She turned around to look at me
[01:15.00] As i was walkin' away
[01:18.00] I heard her say over my shoulder,
[01:19.75] We'll meet again some day on the avenue
[01:25.00] Tangled up in blue
[01:35.90] I had a job in the great north woods
[01:39.00] Working as a cook for a spell
[01:40.37] But i never did like it all that much
[01:43.00] And one day the ax just fell.
[01:46.03] So i drifted down to new orleans
[01:48.00] Where i was lucky just to be employed
[01:50.80] Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
[01:52.83] Right outside of delacroix.
[01:56.00] But all the while i was alone
[01:58.00] The past was close behind,
[01:59.85] I seen a lot of women
[02:02.25] But she never escaped my mind, and i just grew
[02:08.00] Tangled up in blue.
[02:19.00] She was workin' in a topless place
[02:21.00] And i stopped in for a beer,
[02:23.89] I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
[02:26.00] In the spotlight so clear.
[02:28.50] And later on as the crowd thinned out
[02:31.00] I's just about to do the same,
[02:33.52] She was standing there in back of my chair
[02:35.00] Said to me, don't i know your name? I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
[02:39.59] She studied the lines on my face.
[02:43.02] I must admit i felt a little uneasy
[02:44.85] When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
[02:50.08] Tangled up in blue.
[03:00.82] She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
[03:05.75] \i thought you'd never say hello,\ she said
[03:08.00] \you look like the silent type.\<br>Then she opened up a book of poems
[03:12.81] And handed it to me
[03:15.05] Written by an italian poet
[03:17.88] From the thirteenth century.
[03:19.41] And every one of them words rang true
[03:21.94] And glowed like burnin' coal
[03:24.48] Pourin' off of every page
[03:26.01] Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
[03:31.54] Tangled up in blue.
[03:42.57] I lived with them on montague street
[03:45.61] In a basement down the stairs,
[03:46.74] There was music in the cafes at night
[03:48.07] And revolution in the air.
[03:52.00] Then he started into dealing with slaves
[03:53.74] And something inside of him died.
[03:56.87] She had to sell everything she owned
[03:58.80] And froze up inside.
[04:01.33] And when finally the bottom fell out
[04:03.87] I became withdrawn,
[04:05.40] The only thing i knew how to do
[04:07.93] Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
[04:12.46] Tangled up in blue.
[04:23.25] So now i'm goin' back again,
[04:25.23] I got to get to her somehow.
[04:28.36] All the people we used to know
[04:30.00] They're an illusion to me now.
[04:32.73] Some are mathematicians
[04:35.35] Some are carpenter's wives.
[04:37.19] Don't know how it all got started,
[04:39.12] I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
[04:42.00] But me, i'm still on the road
[04:44.00] Headin' for another joint
[04:46.52] We always did feel the same,
[04:49.00] We just saw it from a different point of view,
[04:53.39] Tangled up in blue.
[05:32.92]
