tangled up in blue (real live version) - bob dylan lyrics

early one morning, the sun was shining
he was laying in bed
wondering if she changed at all
if her hair was still red
her folks they said that their lives together
sure was gonna be rough
they never did like mama’s homemade dress
papa’s bankbook wasn’t big enough
and he was standing on the side of the road
rain falling on his shoes
heading out for the lone east coast
radio blasting the news
straight on through
tangled up in blue

she was married when they first met
to a man 4 times her age
he left her penniless, in the state of regret
it was time to break out of the cage
they drove that car as far as they could
abandoned it out west
splitting up on a dark, sad night
both agreeing that it was best
and she turned around to look at him
as he was walking away
she said i wish i could tell you all the things
that i never learned how to say
he said that’s alright babe i love you too
but we were tangled up in blue

he had a steady job and a pretty face
and everything seemed to fit
one day he could just feel the waste
he put it all down and split
and he headed down to new orleans
where they treated him like a boy
he nearly went mad in baton rouge
he nearly drowned in delacroix
and all the time he was alone
the past was close behind
he had one too many lovers then
and none of them were too refined
all except for you
but you were tangled up in blue

she was working in the blinding light
and i stopped in for a drink
i just kept looking at her face so white
i didn’t know what to think
later on as the crowd thinned out
i was getting ready to leave
she was standing there, beside my chair
saying “what’s that you got up your sleeve?”
i said “nothing baby, and that’s for sure”
she leaned down into my face
i could feel the heat and the pulse of her
as she bent down to tie the laces
of my shoe
tangled up in blue

i lived with him on montague street
in a bas-m-nt down the stairs
there was snow all winter and no heat
revolution was in the air
then one day all his slaves ran free
something inside of him died
the only thing i could do was be me
and get on that train and ride
and it all came crashing down
i was already south
i didn’t know whether the world was flat or round
i had the worst taste in my mouth
that i ever knew
tangled up in blue

now i’m going back again
maybe tomorrow, maybe next year
i’ve got to find someone among the women and men
whose destiny is unclear
some are ministers of illusion
some are masters of the trade
all under strong delusion
all of their beds are unmade
me i’m heading toward the sun
trying to stay out of the joint
we always did love the very same one
we just saw her from a different point
of view
tangled up in blue
