So I'm walking down the road

No one else will take my load

So I will

Everyone is laughing, baby.

And everyone is patting their own backs

But every stone and every stick

And every bone

And every half-hearted

But at least half-attempted half-truth

Will come back to stand with you

When you're alone

There is one thing I forgot to tell you

There is one thing I forgot to say

But if I have the guts to say it

I'm afraid the place where we go to get lost

Would get lost

And so I'm walking down the road

I'm crying, baby

I walked all the way to Whitby

People honk at me.

I shake my fist, sometimes give them the finger

I don't know why I always lie to you

Barkis always tells the truth

Barkis never lies.

Barkis is always willing

Will you marry me awhile?
