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 (2)__________ lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like mama's homemade dress
Papa's (3)________________ wasn't big enough
And he was standing on the side of the road
Rain falling on my shoes
Heading out for the east coast
Lord (4)__________ he's paid some dues
Getting through
Tangled up in blue

She was married when 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 they 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 over his shoulder
"We'll meet again (5)______________ 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 went to hell
So he (6)______________ down to New Orleans
Lucky not to be destroyed
Well he got him a job on a (7)______________ boat
Right (8)______________ of Delacroix
But all the while he was alone
The past was close behind
He seen a lot of women
But she never escaped his mind
And he (9)________ grew
Tangled up in blue

She was working in a (10)______________ place
And I stopped in for a beer
I just kept (11)______________ at the sight of her face
In the spotlight so clear
And later on when the crowd (12)______________ out
I was just about to do the same
She was standing there right beside my chair
Said, "Don't (13)________ me, let me (14)__________ your name?"
I muttered something underneath my breath
She (15)______________ the lines on my face
I (16)________ admit I (17)________ a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Tangled up in blue

I lived (18)________ (19)________ 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)______________ with slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to (21)________ everything she owned
And (22)__________ up inside
And when it all came crashing down
I became withdrawn
The (23)________ thing I knew how to do
Was to (24)________ on keeping on (25)________ a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue

So now I'm (26)__________ back again
I got to get her somehow
All the faces we (27)________ to know
They're an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives
Don't know how it all got started
I don't what they 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 (28)________ a different point of view
Tangled up in blue
