[Verse 14] Ain't talkin', just a'walkin' Carryin' a dead man's shield Heart burnin', still yearnin' A'walkin' a'with a toothache in my heel [Verse 15] The sufferin' is unending Every nook and cranny has its tears I'm a'not playin', I'm not pretending I'm not nursin' any superfluous fears [Verse 16] Ain't talkin', just a'walkin' Walkin' ever since the other night Heart burnin', still yearnin' Walkin' ‘til I'ma clean outta sight [Verse 17] As I walked out in the mystic garden On a hot summer day, a hot summer lawn "Excuse me, ma'am, I beg your pardon There's no one here, the gardener is gone" [Verse 18] Ain't talkin', a'just a'walkin' Up the road around the bend Heart burnin', still yearnin' In the last outback, at the world's end #BobDylan #AintTalkin #ModernTimes
