…After the Beginning… #18 Walking the world alone, he waited, head and heart burning, still yearning for the dreams of every young man, dreams that did but wait for the right time and place. But his youth put patience out of reach. Ain’t Talking…Bob Dylan As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain Someone hit me from behind Aint 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 help So pray from the mother In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell Im trying to love my neighbor and do good unto others But oh, mother, things aint going well Aint talkin, just walkin Ill burn that bridge before you can cross Heart burnin, still yearnin Theyll be no mercy for you once youve lost Now Im all worn down by weepin My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry If I catch my opponents ever sleepin Ill just slaughter them where they lie Aint talkin, just walkin Through the world mysterious and vague Heart burnin, still yearnin Walking through the cities of the plague 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 youre down Aint talkin, just walkin Eatin hog-eyed grease in hog-eyed town Heart burnin – still yearnin Someday youll be glad to have me around They will crush you with wealth and power Every waking moment you could crack Ill make the most of one last extra hour Ill avenge my fathers death then Ill step back Aint 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 much-loved companions They approve of me and share my code I practice a faith thats been long abandoned Aint no altars on this long and lonesome road Aint talkin, just walkin My mule is sick, my horse is blind Heart burnin, still yearnin Thinkin ‘bout that gal I left behind Its bright in the heavens and the wheels are flying Fame and honor never seem to fade The fires gone out but the light is never dying Who says I cant get heavenly aid? Aint talkin, just walkin Carrying a dead mans shield Heart burnin, still yearnin Walkin with a toothache in my heel The suffering is unending Every nook and cranny has its tears Im not playing, Im not pretending Im not nursing any superfluous fears Aint talkin, just walkin Walkin ever since the other night Heart burnin, still yearnin Walkin ‘til Im clean out of sight As I walked out in the mystic garden On a hot summer day, hot summer lawn Excuse me, maam I beg your pardon Theres no one here, the gardener is gone Aint talkin, just walkin Up the road around the bend Heart burnin, still yearnin In the last outback, at the worlds end
