Tangled Up In Blue

I was walking, walking away From a life so tripped up, tangled up in blue Who are you...? That dares to define this heart of mine And when the tears stream down my face they burn and remembering those words They hurt And when the cold wind blows you know it's best to wait for the stillness of the night The night The stillness of the night... I was walking so slow upon the path no mind to the past yet here you are Who are you...? To meet me when I'm fine That dares to define my persona and my mind and when your bitterness is tangled up in me more and more I fight to be free Subsiding within these emotions leaving me so tangled, tangled up in blue And as once more I walk away from the pain, the past I look around me only to see the aftermath Who dares to define who I am? And when I'm tangled up in blue, I know its only for a time in which I'll find the sun so bright on the horizon yonder over there but from where I stand the warmth comes from a tear burning, streaming down my face Tangled up and left here so remote But if I may say, that even in the darkest times I have faith to get me through yes, though I'm tangled up in blue A ray of hope I was walking away from a life with you, so tripped up, and tangled in shades of blue
