Notes About The Poem

Written for the Dylan contest a few months ago

I put some vocals and music to make it a fun song

Hope you like it.

Tangled up in you new song version

Listen to poem:
Tangled up in you

I remember the day I saw her, 
running down the avenue...
Chestnut hair flowing in the air, 
I was taken by the view

She was running late, ran by my gate, 
saying how do you do....
I said, don't run away, come make my day, 
turn my grey skies to blue

Later on that night, I caught a sight, 
of that lady coming home
I said, hey my dear, don't ever fear, 
'cause you'll never be alone

She stopped in her tracks, said is that a fact,
how can you be so sure?
I said, my love is true, and I'm true blue...
guess I'm tangled up in you

She stopped by for a spell, guess y'all can tell, 
just how this story ends
She said thanks a lot, but you're not so hot, 
why can't we just be friends

I said fine I guess, you know the rest, 
she used those nifty shoes
I said I'll sit and wait for your return, 
with my whiskey and my blues

the trouble with me is this, you see, 
I'm still tangled up in you
yeah still tangled up in you.
soooooo tangled up in you.

Did you manage to get a win in the Dylan contest? Will you put this song on a new album. I did like the fun of this, like when she left with her nifty shoes! Great job, lyricist.

Thanks Andrea, yes I did place in the contest. Yes this was a fun one I wrote in about 6 mins. It just flowed out like it was dictated, don't you just love it when that happens. No this is just a fun write, I will post my music that will not get released as singles here on the soup. However it's getting harder as I love all of them the same like they're my children or something. lol
