Lyrics
Worn to a frazzle way down in my bones
Feeling extremely exhausted deep within my being
I've sung every song about being alone
Expressing that I've covered all songs about solitude
Ah, honey, please be there when I get home
Pleading for your presence upon my return home
The tourists, they've all given up for the night
Describing tourists abandoning the scene for the night
Coyotes howlin' the cold on my left and my right
Noting the eerie sounds of coyotes surrounding me
And I must be some kind of fool to leave you alone
Acknowledging my foolishness in leaving you alone
The wind grows stronger I'm caught by the throat
Feeling the intensifying force of the wind, creating discomfort
And my tarpaulin flaps like a pensioner's coat
Comparing the flapping of my tarpaulin to an elderly person's coat
Ah, honey, please be there when I get home
Reiterating the plea for your presence upon my return home
All my friends are on the pogey. I'm on the pills
Stating that my friends are dependent on government aid (pogey), while I rely on pills
Hooked on the white lines that run through the hills
Admitting to being addicted to the drugs represented by white lines in the hills
And I must be some kind of fool to leave you alone
Reflecting on the foolishness of leaving you alone amidst struggles
There's not many wise men you meet in this life
Commenting on the scarcity of wise individuals in life
Oh, Will at the lakehead vever took him a wife
Referencing someone named Will at the lakehead who chose not to marry
Ah, honey, please be there when I get home
Repeating the plea for your presence upon my return home
Asked about this and he just shook his head
Recalling a conversation where love was deemed for dreamers by a person at the lakehead
He said, " love is for dreamers", ws all that he said
Reiterating that love is a dream, according to the individual mentioned
And I must be some kind of fool to leave you alone
Reflecting on the foolishness of leaving you alone, echoing earlier sentiments
And I must be some kind of fool to leave you alone
Final repetition of the acknowledgment of foolishness in leaving you alone
