Watered-Down Love: by Bob Dylan, w/Esteban Paez

  • PDF

riverflood2Bob Dylan in the song Watered-Down Love describes the treacheries of watering down the love that God has for us.

Love that's pure, it don't make no claims,
Intercedes for you 'stead of casting you blame,
Will not deceive you or lead you to transgression,
Won't write it up and make you sign a false confession.

You don't want a love that's pure
You wanna drown love
You want a watered-down love

Love that's pure ain't no accident,
Always on time, is always content,
An eternal flame, quietly burning,
Never needs to be proud, restlessly yearning.

Below, a video of Esteban Paez performing the song.
