Ain’t Talkin’ Songtext

Ain’t Talkin’ Songtext

As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
Wounded flowers were dangling from the vines
I was passing by some cool crystal fountain
Something hit me from behind

They say prayer has the power to heal
So pray from me mother
In the human heart, evil can dwell
I′m tryna love my neighbor, do good to others
Oh mother, things ain't going so well

Ain′t talkin', I'm just walkin′
Through this weary world of woe
Heart burnin′, still yearnin'
No one on earth would ever know

Now I′m all worn down from weeping
My eyes are filled with tears, and my lips are dry
If I ever catch my opponent sleeping
I'm gon′ slaughter 'em right there where they lie


Well, the whole world is filled with speculation
The whole wide world, which people say is round
They will tear your mind from contemplation
They will jump on your misfortune when you′re down

That's why ain't talkin′, I′m 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, play girls

They will crush you with wealth and power
And any waking moment you could crack
I'll make the most of my one last extra hour
I'll mourn my family′s death then I′ll step back

All my loyal and my much-loved companions
They approve of me and they share my code
I lost my faith that's been long abandoned
Ain′t no altars on my long and lonely road

Ain't talkin′, I'm just walkin′
Through the world mysterious and vague
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Walkin′ through the city of plague


Now the sufferin′ is unending
Every nook and cranny has its tears
Ain't playing, and ain′t pretending
I'm not nursin′ any superfluous fears

As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
On a hot summer day, a hot summer night
Excuse me y'all, I beg your pardon
Ain′t nobody here but me the gardener's gone

And ain't talkin′, I′m just walkin'
Walkin′ ever since the other night
Heart burnin', still yearnin′
Walkin' ′til I'm clean out of sight

I ain't talkin′, I′m just walkin'
I ain′t talkin', I′m just walkin'
I ain′t talkin', I'm just walkin′
