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 talking, talkin', just walking walkin'
Through this weary world of woe
Heart burning, burnin', still yearning yearnin'
No one on earth would ever know

They say say, prayer has the power to heal
So pray for me, from the mother
In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell
I am trying tryin' to love my neighborenter deleted
and do good unto others
But oh, mother, things ain't going well

Ain't talking, talkin', just walking walkin'
I'll burn that bridge before you can cross
Heart burning, burnin', still yearning yearnin'
There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost

Now I'm all worn down by weeping weepin'
My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry
If I catch my opponents ever sleeping sleepin'
I'll just slaughter them 'em where they lie

Ain't talking, talkin', just walking walkin'
Through the world mysterious and vague
Heart burning, burnin', still yearning yearnin'
WalkingWalkin' through the cities of the plague. 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 talking, talkin', just walking walkin'
EatingEatin' hog eyed grease in a hog eyed town. town
Heart burning, burnin', still yearning yearnin'
Some day you'll be glad to have me around. around

They will crush you with wealth and power
Every waking wakin' moment you could crack
I'll make the most of one last extra hour
I'll revenge my father's death then and I'll step back

Ain't talking, talkin', just walking walkin'
Hand me down my walking cane. walkin' cane
Heart burning, burnin', still yearning yearnin'
Got to get you out of my miserable brain. 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 talking, talkin', just walking walkin'
My mule is sick, my horse is blind. blind
Heart burning, burnin', still yearning yearnin'
Thinking aboutThinkin' 'bout that girl gal I left behind. behind

Well, it's bright in the heavensenter deleted
and the wheels are flying flyin'
Fame and honor never seem to fade
The fire gone out but the light is never dying dyin'
Who says I can't get heavenly aid?

Ain't talking, talkin', just walking walkin'
CarryingCarryin' a dead man's shield
Heart burning, burnin', still yearning yearnin'
WalkingWalkin' with a toothache in my heel

The suffering sufferin' is unending
Every nook and cranny has its tears
I'm not playing, playin', I'm not pretending pretendin'
I'm not nursing nursin' any superfluous fears

Ain't talking, talkin', just walking walkin'
WalkingWalkin' ever since the other night. night
Heart burning, burnin', still yearning yearnin'
Walking untilWalkin' 'til I'm clean out of sight. 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 talking, talkin', just walking walkin'
Up the road, around the bend. bend
Heart burning, burnin', still yearning yearnin'
In the last outback at the world's end. end
