This is one of the final songs that Dylan wrote during his religious period, and one of his finest. Few people were paying attention to Dylan's new music by 1981, but those that did recognized this as one of the most touching and sublime works of his career – up there with anything he wrote in the 1960s. The stripped down demo from his Bootleg Series is even better. You can even hear Dylan's dogs barking in the background.
