Ain't Talkin'

As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
 The wounded flowers were dangling from the vine
 I was passing by yon cool crystal fountain
 Someone hit me from behind
 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 Through this weary world of woe
 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 No one on earth would ever know
 They say, prayer has the power to heal
 So pray from the mother
 In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell
 I am tryin' to love my neighbor and do good unto others
 But oh, mother, things ain't going well
 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 I'll burn that bridge before you can cross
 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost
 Now I'm all worn down by weepin'
 My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry
 If I catch my opponents ever sleepin'
 I'll just slaughter 'em where they lie
 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 Through the world mysterious and vague
 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 Walkin' through the cities of the plague
 ♪
 Well, the whole world is filled with speculation
 The whole wide world which people say is round
 They will tear your mind away from contemplation
 They will jump on your misfortune when you're down
 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 Eatin' hog eyed grease in a hog eyed town
 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 Some day you'll be glad to have me around
 ♪
 They will crush you with wealth and power
 Every wakin' moment you could crack
 I'll make the most of one last extra hour
 I'll revenge my father's death and I'll step back
 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 Hand me down my walkin' cane
 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 Got to get you out of my miserable brain
 ♪
 All my loyal and my much-loved companions
 They approve of me and share my code
 I practice a faith that's been long abandoned
 Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 My mule is sick, my horse is blind
 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 Thinkin' 'bout that gal I left behind
 Well, it's bright in the heavens and the wheels are flyin'
 Fame and honor never seem to fade
 The fire gone out but the light is never dyin'
 Who says I can't get heavenly aid?
 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 Carryin' a dead man's shield
 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 Walkin' with a toothache in my heel
 The sufferin' is unending
 Every nook and cranny has its tears
 I'm not playin', I'm not pretendin'
 I'm not nursin' any superfluous fears
 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 Walkin' ever since the other night
 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 Walkin' 'til I'm clean out of sight
 ♪
 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
 Ain't talkin', just walkin'
 Up the road, around the bend
 Heart burnin', still yearnin'
 In the last outback at the world's end
