As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
The w ounded flowers were dangling from the vines
I was p assing by yon cool and crystal fountain
Someone hit me from behind
Ain't t alkin' just walkin'
Through t his weary world of woe
Heart b urnin' still yearnin'
No o ne on earth would ever k now
They say p rayer has the power to help
So pray from the m other
In the h uman heart an evil spirit can dwell
I'm trying to l ove my neighbor and do good unto others
But oh m other things ain't going well
Ain't t alkin' just walkin'
I'll b urn that bridge bef ore you get ac ross
Heart b urnin' still yearnin'
There'll b e no mercy f or you once you've l ost
I'm all worn out by weepin'
My e yes are full of tears and my lips are dry
If I e ver catch my opponents sleepin'
I'll s laughter them where they lie
Ain't t alkin' just walkin'
Through the w orld myste rious and v ague
Heart b urnin' still yearnin'
W alking through the c ities of the p lague
The w hole world is filled with speculation
The w hole wide world which people say is round
I got no t ime for idle conversation
I n eed to find a doctor in this town
Ain't t alkin' just walkin'
All r oads leadin to the west
Heart b urnin' - still yearnin'
I'm gonna t hrow myself up on your lovin' b reast

It's a fresh new day of a brand and a glorious autums
The q ueen of love is coming across the grass
the y call her anything but Madam
No-one f lirts with her of even winks a pass
Ain't t alkin' just walkin'
S tanding outs ide the gates of w rath
Heart b urnin' still yearnin'
T ake a little trip dow n the primrose p ath
I got the w orst old feeling and it's getting stronger
I'm all o ut with public service I'm beginning to crack
I w on't stay up any longer
I'll rev enge my father's death and I'll step back
Ain't t alkin' just walkin'
Hand me down m y walking cane
Heart b urnin' still yearnin'
T rying to get you out of my m iserable b rain
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
The w ounded flowers were dangling from the vines
I was p assing by yon cool and crystal fountain
Someone h it me from behind
Ain't t alkin' just walkin'
You're r idin' high and down you go
Heart b urnin' still yearnin'
No o ne on e arth would ever k now
