[00:09.840]	Early one mornin'' the sun was shinin''
[00:13.100]	I was layin'' in bed
[00:14.870]	Wond''rin'' if she''d changed at all
[00:17.690]	If her hair was still red
[00:19.650]	Her folks they said our lives together
[00:22.520]	Sure was gonna be rough
[00:24.530]	They never did like Mama''s homemade dress
[00:27.480]	Papa''s bankbook wasn''t big enough
[00:29.620]	And I was standin'' on the side of the road
[00:32.670]	Rain fallin'' on my shoes
[00:34.170]	Heading out for the East Coast
[00:37.220]	Lord knows I''ve paid some dues gettin'' through
[00:40.520]	Tangled up in blue
[00:50.640]	She was married when we first met
[00:56.150]	Soon to be divorced
[00:58.200]	I helped her out of a jam, I guess
[01:00.920]	But I used a little too much force
[01:02.910]	We drove that car as far as we could
[01:05.800]	Abandoned it out West
[01:07.740]	Split up on a dark sad night
[01:10.660]	Both agreeing it was best
[01:12.600]	She turned around to look at me
[01:15.570]	As I was walkin'' away
[01:17.789]	I heard her say over my shoulder
[01:20.350]	"We''ll meet again someday on the avenue," “
[01:23.590]	Tangled up in blue
[01:34.960]	I had a job in the great north woods
[01:39.229]	Working as a cook for a spell
[01:41.900]	But I never did like it all that much
[01:44.900]	And one day the ax just fell
[01:45.840]	So I drifted down to New Orleans
[01:48.690]	Where I happened to be employed
[01:50.890]	Workin'' for a while on a fishin'' boat
[01:53.550]	Right outside of Delacroix
[01:55.520]	But all the while I was alone
[01:58.110]	The past was close behind
[02:00.220]	I seen a lot of women
[02:02.800]	But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
[02:06.150]	Tangled up in blue
[02:10.430]
[02:16.820]	She was workin'' in a topless place
[02:21.329]	And I stopped in for a beer
[02:23.490]	I just kept lookin'' at the side of her face
[02:26.310]	In the spotlight so clear
[02:28.420]	And later on as the crowd thinned out
[02:31.190]	I''s just about to do the same
[02:33.100]	She was standing there in back of my chair
[02:35.850]	Said to me, "Don''t I know your name?"
[02:37.920]	I muttered somethin'' underneath my breath
[02:40.710]	She studied the lines on my face
[02:42.540]	I must admit I felt a little uneasy
[02:45.140]	When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
[02:48.510]	Tangled up in blue
[02:53.480]
[02:58.780]	She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
[03:05.320]	"I thought you''d never say hello," she said “
[03:08.310]	"You look like the silent type." “
[03:10.140]	Then she opened up a book of poems
[03:12.990]	And handed it to me
[03:14.610]	Written by an Italian poet
[03:17.650]	From the thirteenth century
[03:20.100]	And every one of them words rang true
[03:22.310]	And glowed like burnin'' coal
[03:24.300]	Pourin'' off of every page
[03:27.110]	Like it was written in my soul from me to you
[03:30.500]	Tangled up in blue
[03:36.460]
[03:39.430]	I lived with them on Montague Street
[03:45.900]	In a basement down the stairs
[03:46.950]	There was music in the cafes at night
[03:49.650]	And revolution in the air
[03:51.550]	Then he started into dealing with slaves
[03:54.560]	And something inside of him died
[03:56.240]	She had to sell everything she owned
[03:59.100]	And froze up inside
[04:00.800]	And when finally the bottom fell out
[04:03.530]	I became withdrawn
[04:05.630]	The only thing I knew how to do
[04:08.120]	Was to keep on keepin'' on like a bird that flew
[04:11.640]	Tangled up in blue
[04:16.680]
[04:22.810]	So now I''m goin'' back again
[04:26.200]	I got to get to her somehow
[04:28.600]	All the people we used to know
[04:30.660]	They''re an illusion to me now
[04:32.380]	Some are mathematicians
[04:35.120]	Some are carpenter''s wives
[04:37.230]	Don''t know how it all got started
[04:38.419]	I don''t know what they''re doin'' with their lives
[04:40.469]	But me, I''m still on the road
[04:43.207]	Headin'' for another joint
[04:45.289]	We always did feel the same
[04:47.900]	We just saw it from a different point of view
[04:52.599]	Tangled up in blue

[00:09.840]	Early one mornin'' the sun was shinin''
