Concur with thoughts about New Morning. I've been reading Krishnamurti lately and have been thinking about the line "Time passes slowly when you're searching for love." Now, over the years I haven't really given much thought to this song. It just felt like a homey country tune about the virtues of simplicity, family, love, nature. But I'm wondering if there's a deeper meaning. When time passes slowly, when time drags on one it usually makes one miserable, no? In light of Krishnamurti, who claims that the thinking of love, the yearning for love has the unintended result of losing love, I wonder if Dylan is saying that searching for love = time passing slowly = misery.
