tangled up in blue (Bob Dylan)

The music itself had a very warm feeling to it, even if the story being told had an almost opposite effect on me. I would've like to have known how long this man was waiting, so that way, I could at least have a better picture in my head on how he truly felt. I'm assuming it was over a few years that he had been alone for the lyrics explained quite a deeper, heart felt meaning that most people couldn't come up with even if they were faking it.
