Jack Frost Productions - Ain't Talkin' lyrics

[Verse 1] As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines I was pa**ing by yon cool and crystal fountain Someone hit me from behind [Verse 2] Ain't talkin', just walking' Through this weary world of woe The heart is burning', still yearnin' No one on earth would ever know [Verse 3] They say prayer has the power to help So pray from the mother In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell I'm trying to love my neighbor and do good unto others But oh, mother, things ain't going well [Verse 4] Ain't talkin', just walking' I'll burn that bridge before you can cross The heart is burning', still yearnin' They'll be no mercy for you once you've lost [Verse 5] 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 them where they lie [Verse 6] Ain't talkin', just walking' Through the world mysterious and vague The heart is burning', still yearnin' Walking through the cities of the plague [Verse 7] 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 [Verse 8] Ain't talkin', just walking' Eating' hog-eyed grease in a hog-eyed town The heart is burning' – still yearnin' Someday you'll be glad to have me around [Verse 9] 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 avenge my father's d**h then I'll step back [Verse 10] Ain't talkin', just walking' Hand me down my walking' cane The heart is burning', still yearnin' Got to get you out of my miserable brain [Verse 11] All my loyal and 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 [Verse 12] Ain't talkin', just walking' My mule is sick, my horse is blind The heart is burning', still yearnin' Thinking' ‘bout that gal I left behind [Verse 13] It's bright in the heavens and the wheels are flying Fame and honor never seem to fade The fire's gone out but the light is never dying Who says I can't get heavenly aid? [Verse 14] Ain't talkin', just walking' Carrying a dead man's shield Heart burning, still yearning Walking with a toothache in my heel [Verse 15] The suffering is unending Every nook and cranny has its tears I'm not playing, I'm not pretending I'm not nursing any superfluous fears [Verse 16] Ain't talkin', just walking Walking ever since the other night Heart burning, still yearnin' Walking ‘till I'm clean out of sight [Verse 17] As I walked out in the mystic garden On a hot summer day, hot summer lawn Excuse me, ma'am, I beg your pardon There's no one here, the gardener is gone [Verse 18] Ain't talking, just walking Up the road around the bend Heart burning, still yearning In the last outback, at the world's end
