	Early one mornin’ the sun was shinin’
	I was layin’ in bed
	Wond’rin’ if she’d changed at all
	If her hair was still red
	Her folks they said our lives together
	Sure was gonna be rough
	They never did like Mama’s homemade dress
	Papa’s bankbook wasn’t big enough
	And I was standin’ on the side of the road
	Rain fallin’ on my shoes
	Heading out for the East Coast
	Lord knows I’ve paid some dues gettin’ through
	Tangled up in blue

	She was married when we first met
	Soon to be divorced
	I helped her out of a jam, I guess
	But I used a little too much force
	We drove that car as far as we could
	Abandoned it out West
	Split up on a dark sad night
	Both agreeing it was best
	She turned around to look at me
	As I was walkin’ away
	I heard her say over my shoulder
	“We’ll meet again someday on the avenue”
	Tangled up in blue

	I had a job in the great north woods
	Working as a cook for a spell
	But I never did like it all that much
	And one day the ax just fell
	So I drifted down to New Orleans
	Where I happened to be employed
	Workin’ for a while on a fishin’ boat
	Right outside of Delacroix
	But all the while I was alone
	The past was close behind
	I seen a lot of women
	But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
	Tangled up in blue

	She was workin’ in a topless place
	And I stopped in for a beer
	I just kept lookin’ at the side of her face
	In the spotlight so clear
	And later on as the crowd thinned out
	I’s just about to do the same
	She was standing there in back of my chair
	Said to me, “Don’t I know your name?”
	I muttered somethin’ underneath my breath
	She studied the lines on my face
	I must admit I felt a little uneasy
	When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
	Tangled up in blue

	She lit a burner on the stove
	And offered me a pipe
	“I thought you’d never say hello,” she said
	“You look like the silent type”
	Then she opened up a book of poems
	And handed it to me
	Written by an Italian poet
	From the thirteenth century
	And every one of them words rang true
	And glowed like burnin’ coal
	Pourin’ off of every page
	Like it was written in my soul from me to you
	Tangled up in blue

	I lived with them on Montague Street
	In a basement down the stairs
	There was music in the cafés at night
	And revolution in the air
	Then he started into dealing with slaves
	And something inside of him died
	She had to sell everything she owned
	And froze up inside
	And when finally the bottom fell out
	I became withdrawn
	The only thing I knew how to do
	Was to keep on keepin’ on like a bird that flew
	Tangled up in blue

	So now I’m goin’ back again
	I got to get to her somehow
	All the people we used to know
	They’re an illusion to me now
	Some are mathematicians
	Some are carpenters’ wives
	Don’t know how it all got started
	I don’t know what they’re doin’ with their lives
	But me, I’m still on the road
	Headin’ for another joint
	We always did feel the same
	We just saw it from a different point of view
	Tangled up in blue

	Early one mornin' the sun was shinin'
	I was layin' in bed
	Wond' rin' if she' d changed at all
