Precious Angel Lyrics

Lyric discussion by TheThornBirds 

Cover art for Precious Angel lyrics by Bob Dylan

"You're the queen of my flesh, girl, you're my woman, you're my delight You're the lamb of my soul, girl, and you touch up the night..."

No more passionately romantic lyric about love has ever been written, by Dylan or anybody.

The mixture of love and religion in this song is very interesting. It's like somebody who meets somebody who shows them not only the greatest love and sex and relationship ever... but introduces them to thoughts and ideas that wildly change who they are. I always imagine the woman in this song is a very warm, earthy black woman (especially the line "Our ancestors were slaves... although he's probably refering to jews in egypt since he's jewish). She's a motherly figure one one hand and wildly passionate in the bedroom on the other, and she's spiritual which (my apologies to my female atheist friends) makes the sex even hotter and more passionate, usually.

@TheThornBirds its like Kama Sutra meets Jean Paul Sartre, haha
