Bob Dylan - Tangled up in blue grand ballad version

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 We abandoned it way out West Splittin' up on a dark sad night Both agreeing that it was best. She turned around to look at me One more time, as I was walkin' away Sayin' over her shoulder, "Boy, We're bound to meet again someday on the avenue," Tangled up in blue. I remember stayin' in the north woords Living in a vagabond hotel One day there in the pouring rain I could feel how the ax just fell. So I drifted down to New Orleans And I was lucky not to be destroyed I almost died of the bulldog clap Two miles 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 dancin' in the Flamingo hotel And I was passin' by, so I stopped in for a beer, I just kept starin' at the side of her face In the spotlight so clear. And later on when the crowd thinned out I was just about to do the same, She was standing there right behind my chair Toughing me said: "You know it ain't no accident that you came." 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, wearin' a dress made up of stars and stripes "I thought you'd never say hello," she said "You know you look like you could be the silent type." Then she opened up the Bible And she started quotin' it to me Jeremiah chapter seventeen From verses 21 and 33. 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 cafes at night, There was revolution in the air. Then he started into dealing with slaves And something inside of her froze. She had to sell everything she owned Even her jewellery and her clothes. And when it all came crashing on, I became withdrawn, The only thing I knew how to do Was to keep on keepin' on Like a bird that flew Tangled up in blue.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 and be brave. All the people we used to know, At least the ones that ain't in the grave, Some are bricklayers, some are bankrobbers Some are burglars and some are truck-drivers' wives. I Don't know how it all got started, I have no idea 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.
