Tangled Up In Blue Lyrics

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 red.
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's...

   Dylan has blue eyes. Tangled up in Blue is about the contorted relationship and breakup with sara. Tangled up in Blue is "Tangled up with me.

   Ok ok I think I have it now, look up Bob Dylan who's who blood on the tracks was released in January 75 and desire was recorded in 75 and released in January 76 but he definitely sang it to her and that was the only cut of the song it was released as is. Sorry for the mix up mike

   Also I remember that I read in one of the many books about dylan that he was recording blood on the tracks when Sara came to the studio and he either wrote it there or wrote it somewhere else but definitely sang it to her there stunning sara and leaving everyone else speechless. If I can remember where I read it I will let you know mike.

   First of all Sara aint off Blood on the Tracks, its on desire and secondly you have a good point with the meaning

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   TANGLED UP IN BLUE is another song that Dylan jumps around in but he always comes back to Sara . eg; she was married when we first met; I stopped into a topless place (Sara worked in the playboy club in nyc). I got a job in the great north woods (echo from Minnesota the great north woods). Please remember this song is from blood on the tracks, an album where Bob is jumping from loving her to hating her from song to song eg; the loving song Sara to the hateful Idiot Wind.
   
   It was probably a more panicked Dylan than we have ever seen before or after which could lead into the word tangled. It was during this time period that Dylan gave the best concerts of his career (I personally never heard a more vicious rendition of idiot wind than the concert at Fort Collins for the TV concert Hard Rain and Like A Rolling Stone where he practically spit the words out at the top of his voice). All my Dylan freaks boys and girls were sorry for his marital problems but agreed he never sounded better. mike
