[Verse 1]
Dm
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
Dm
The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines
G7
I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain
Dm
Someone hit me from behind
Dm
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Dm
Through this weary world of woe
Dm
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Am C Dm
No one on earth would ever know
[Verse 2]

Dm
So pray from the mother

I'm trying to love my neighbor and do good unto others
Dm
But oh, mother, things ain't going well
Dm
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Dm G7 Dm
I'll burn that bridge before you get across
Dm
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Am C Dm
There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost
[Verse 3]
Dm
I'm all worn out by weepin'
Dm
My eyes are full of tears and my lips are dry
G7
If I ever catch my opponents sleepin'
Dm
I'll slaughter them where they lie
Dm
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Dm [D7] Dm
Through the world mysterious and vague
Dm
Heart burnin', still yearnin'

Walking through the cities of the plague
[Verse 4]
Dm
The whole world is filled with speculation
Dm
The whole wide world which people say is round
G7
I got no time for idle conversation
Dm
I need to find a doctor in this town
Dm
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Dm
All roads leadin to the west
Dm
Heart burnin' – still yearnin'
Am C Dm
I’m gonna throw myself upon your lovin’ breast

Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Am C Dm
No one on earth would ever know
