Jane Siberry Barkis Is Willin` Lyrics

Barkis Is Willin` Lyrics

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?
