Barkis Is Willin' Lyrics - Jane Siberry

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
