Letra de Tangled Up And Blue
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 redHer 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 enoughAnd 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' throughTangled up in blueShe 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 forceWe drove that car as far as we could Abandoned it out west Split up on a dark sad night Both agreeing it was bestShe 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 avenueTangled up in blueI had a job in the great north woods Working as a cook for a spell I never did like it all that much And one day the axe just fellSo I drifted down to New Orleans Where I was lucky to be employed Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat Right outside of DelacroixBut 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 grewTangled up in blueShe 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 clearAnd later on the crowd thinned out I's just about to do the same She was standing there in back of my chair Sayin', Jackie, 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 shoeTangled up in blueShe 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 centuryAnd 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 youTangled up in blueI lived with them on Montague Street In a basement down the stairs There was music in the cafes at night And revolution in the airThen he started into dealing with slaves And something inside of him died She had to sell everything she owned And froze up insideAnd one day finally the bottom fell out I became withdrawn The only thing I knew how to do Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flewTangled up in blueSo now I'm goin' back again I got to get to her somehow All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 nowSome are mathematicians Some are carpenter's wives Don't know how it all got started I don't know what they're doin' with their livesBut 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 viewTangled up in blue
