[ti:Tangled Up In Blue] [ar:Bob Dylan] [al:] [00:00.00]Artist: Bob Dylan [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.
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.
