Tangled Up In Blue (Live) by Bob Dylan

Early one morning, the sun was shinin'
She was layin' in bed
Wondering if she'd changed it all
If her (1)________ was still red
Her folks they said their (2)__________ 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 (3)________ of the road
Rain (4)______________ on my shoes
Heading out for the (5)________ coast
Lord knows he's paid some dues
Getting through
Tangled up in blue

She was (6)______________ (7)________ they first met
Soon to be divorced
He helped her out of a jam, I guess
But he used a little too much force
And (8)________ drove that car as far as they could
Abandoned it out west
Split up on a dark, sad night
Both agreeing it was best
And she turned around to look at him
As he was walking away
Saying (9)________ his shoulder
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue"
Tangled up in blue

He had a job in Santa Fe
Working in an old hotel
But he never did like it all that much
And one day it just (10)________ to hell
So he drifted down to New Orleans
Lucky not to be destroyed
Well he got him a job on a fishing boat
Right outside of Delacroix
But all the (11)__________ he was alone
The (12)________ was close behind
He seen a lot of women
But she (13)__________ escaped his mind
And he (14)________ grew
Tangled up in blue

She was (15)______________ in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer
I just kept (16)______________ at the sight 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 (17)________________ there right beside my chair
Said, "Don't tell me, let me guess your name?"
I muttered something underneath my breath
She (18)______________ the lines on my face
I must admit I felt a (19)____________ uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
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
And revolution in the air
Then he started into (20)______________ (21)________ slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to (22)________ everything she owned
And froze up inside
And when it all came crashing down
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on (23)________ a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue

So now I'm going back again
I got to get her somehow
All the faces we used to know
They're an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives
Don't (24)________ how it all got started
I don't what (25)________ do with their lives
But me, I'm still on the road
Heading for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point of view
Tangled up in blue
