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?
