The second release from the groundbreaking Mondo Scripto  series continues Bob Dylan’s own selection of his most renowned lyrics, each originally handwritten by him in pen on paper and accompanied by a pencil drawing.

Even as Dylan was beginning, in 1962, to write his powerful socially conscious songs such as ‘Masters Of War’ and ‘Oxford Town’, he was penning equally original and enduring love songs. Foremost among these may be this classic farewell to a lover who has wasted the singer’s ‘precious time’. The lyrics mix bitterness and rue in equal measure, as the singer walks off down the road and out of range. Running underneath the stoic surface, however, are vulnerability and pain that lend the words their deep poignancy.
