Tangled Up In Blue - Mary Lee‘s Corvette

[00:0.0]Tangled Up In Blue - Mary Lee's Corvette
[00:11.33]Early one morning the sun was shining
[00:13.8]I was laying in bed
[00:16.59]Wond'ring if she'd changed it all
[00:18.71]If her hair was still red
[00:21.8]Her folks they said our lives together
[00:24.38]Sure was gonna be rough
[00:26.96]They never did like Mama's homemade dress
[00:29.24]Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough
[00:32.28]And I was standing on the side of the road
[00:34.89]Rain falling on my shoes
[00:38.18]Heading out for the East Coast
[00:39.82]Lord knows
[00:40.78]I've paid some dues getting through
[00:45.88]Tangled up in blue
[00:57.84]She was married when we first meet
[01:01.28]Soon to be divorced
[01:05.7]I helped her out of a jam I guess
[01:08.8]But I used a little too much force
[01:13.63]We drove that car as far as we could
[01:18.33]Abandoned it out West
[01:23.33]Split it up on a dark sad night
[01:26.5]Both agreeing it was best
[01:31.48]She said something to look at me
[01:35.52]As I was walking away
[01:40.78]I heard her say over my shoulder
[01:43.87]We'll meet again someday on the avenue
[01:53.7]Tangled up in blue
[01:73.17]I had a job in the great north woods
[01:77.32]Working as a cook for a spell
[01:81.57]But I never did like it all that much
[01:85.45]And one day the ax just fell
[01:89.87]So I drifted down to New Orleans
[01:94.22]Where I happened to be employed
[01:99.2]Working for a while on a fishing boat
[02:02.98]Right outside of Delacroix
[02:08.32]But all the while I was alone
[02:12.07]The past was close behind
[02:17.3]I seen a lot of women
[02:20.27]But she never escaped my mind my love just grew
[02:30.22]Tangled up in blue
[02:49.97]She was working in a topless place
[02:54.23]And I stopped in for a beer
[02:58.4]I just kept looking at her side of her face
[02:62.4]In the spotlight so clear
[02:67.45]And later on as the crowd thinned out
[02:71.68]I's just about to do the same
[02:75.78]She was standing there in back of my chair
[02:79.95]Saying Jimmy
[02:81.05]Don't I know your name
[02:85.]I muttered something underneath my breath
[02:89.35]She studied the lines on my face
[02:93.77]I must admit I felt a little uneasy
[02:97.65]When she bent down
[02:99.22]To tie the laces of my shoe
[03:07.]Tangled up in blue
[03:27.02]She lit a burner on the stove
[03:30.97]And offered me a pipe
[03:35.53]I thought you'd never say hello she said
[03:39.97]You look like the silent type
[03:43.82]Then she opened up a book of poems
[03:49.2]And handed it to me
[03:53.45]Written by an Italian poet
[03:57.43]From the thirteenth century
[03:61.98]And every one of them words rang true
[03:66.38]And glowed like burning coal
[03:71.05]Pouring off of every page
[03:74.8]Like it was written in my soul from me to you
[03:84.27]Tangled up in blue
[04:03.53]I lived with them on Montague Street
[04:07.95]In a basement down the stairs
[04:11.98]There was music in the cafes at night
[04:16.3]And revolution in the air
[04:20.92]Then he started into dealing with slaves
[04:25.32]And something inside of him died
[04:29.67]She had to sell everything she owned
[04:34.03]And froze up inside
[04:38.45]And when finally the bottom fell out
[04:43.12]I became withdrawn
[04:47.08]The only thing I knew how to do
[04:51.22]Was to keep on keeping
[04:53.52]On like a bird that flew
[04:60.37]Tangled up in blue
[04:79.85]So now I'm going back again
[04:83.72]I got to get her somehow
[04:88.6]All the people we used to know
[04:92.33]They're an illusion to me now
[04:97.45]Some are mathematicians
[05:01.6]Some are carpenter's wives
[05:05.43]I don't know how it all got started
[05:09.]I don't know what they're doing with their lives
[05:14.45]But me I'm still on the road
[05:18.75]Heading for another joint
[05:23.52]We always did feel the same
[05:26.95]We just saw it from a different point of view
[05:36.47]Tangled up in Blue
