Ain`t Talkin` - Bob Dylan
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'm atryin' 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 weeping
My eyes are filled with
tears my lips are dry
If I catch my opponents
ever sleeping
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 waking moment
you could crack
I'll make the most of one
last extra hour
I'll revenge my father's
death then 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 playing
I'm not pretending
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
