Tangled Up In Blue

Tangled Up In Blue - Great White[00:00:00]

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin'[00:00:10]

I was layin' in bed[00:00:13]

Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all[00:00:15]

If her hair was still red[00:00:17]

Her folks they said our lives together[00:00:20]

Sure was gonna be rough[00:00:21]

They never did like Mama's homemade dress[00:00:24]

Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough[00:00:27]

And I was standin' on the side of the road[00:00:29]

Rain fallin' on my shoes[00:00:32]

Heading out for the East Coast[00:00:34]

Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through[00:00:36]

Tangled up in blue[00:00:41]

She was married when we first met[00:00:53]

Soon to be divorced[00:00:55]

I helped her out of a jam I guess[00:00:58]

But I used a little too much force[00:01:00]

We drove that car as far as we could[00:01:02]

Abandoned it out west[00:01:05]

Split up on a dark sad night[00:01:07]

Both agreeing it was best[00:01:09]

She turned around to look at me[00:01:12]

As I was walkin' away[00:01:14]

I heard her say over my shoulder[00:01:17]

We'll meet again someday on the avenue[00:01:19]

Tangled up in blue[00:01:24]

I had a job in the great north woods[00:01:36]

Working as a cook for a spell[00:01:37]

I never did like it all that much[00:01:40]

And one day the axe just fell[00:01:42]

So I drifted down to New Orleans[00:01:45]

Where I was lucky to be employed[00:01:47]

Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat[00:01:50]

Right outside of Delacroix[00:01:52]

But all the while I was alone[00:01:55]

The past was close behind[00:01:57]

I seen a lot of women[00:02:00]

But she never escaped my mind and I just grew[00:02:02]

Tangled up in blue[00:02:07]

She was workin' in a topless place[00:02:19]

And I stopped in for a beer[00:02:21]

I just kept lookin' at the side of her face[00:02:23]

In the spotlight so clear[00:02:26]

And later on the crowd thinned out[00:02:28]

I's just about to do the same[00:02:30]

She was standing there in back of my chair[00:02:33]

Sayin' Jackie don't I know your name [00:02:35]

I muttered somethin' underneath my breath[00:02:38]

She studied the lines on my face[00:02:39]

I must admit I felt a little uneasy[00:02:43]

When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe[00:02:45]

Tangled up in blue[00:02:50]

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe[00:03:01]

I thought you'd never say hello she said you look like the silent type[00:03:06]

Then she opened up a book of poems and handed it to me[00:03:11]

Written by an Italian poet from the thirteenth century[00:03:16]

And every one of them words rang true[00:03:21]

And glowed like burnin' coal[00:03:23]

Pourin' off of every page[00:03:25]

Like it was written in my soul from me to you[00:03:28]

Tangled up in blue[00:03:33]

I lived with them on Montague Street[00:03:44]

In a basement down the stairs[00:03:46]

There was music in the cafes at night[00:03:49]

And revolution in the air[00:03:51]

Then he started into dealing with slaves[00:03:54]

And something inside of him died[00:03:56]

She had to sell everything she owned[00:03:58]

And froze up inside[00:04:01]

And one day finally the bottom fell out[00:04:03]

I became withdrawn[00:04:06]

The only thing I knew how to do[00:04:08]

Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew[00:04:10]

Tangled up in blue[00:04:15]

So now I'm goin' back again[00:04:26]

I got to get to her somehow[00:04:29]

All the people we used to know[00:04:31]

They're an illusion to me now[00:04:34]

Some are mathematicians[00:04:36]

Some are carpenter's wives[00:04:38]

Don't know how it all got started[00:04:41]

I don't know what they're doin' with their lives[00:04:43]

But me I'm still on the road[00:04:46]

Headin' for another joint[00:04:48]

We always did feel the same[00:04:50]

We just saw it from a different point of view[00:04:53]

Tangled up in blue[00:04:58]
