A short love song from Planet Waves, recorded with The Band, which Dylan also performed with them in "The Last Waltz".
The words
A man longs for a woman named Hazel and asks her to give him a little of her love.
The singer is drawn to Hazel and describes her in admiring terms while confessing how much he needs her. It is a simple song of yearning, without a story or conflict beyond his desire and hope. The tone is warm and slightly melancholy, and the melody rises and falls gently. The Band supply a soft, rootsy backing that keeps it intimate and unhurried.
