In The Margins Lyrics by Ani Difranco
Album : Reprieve
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Such an intent stare
One eye at a time
Your talons like fish hooks

You are a rare bird
The kind I wouldn't even mind
Writing in the margins of my books

Sometimes I see myself
Through the eyes of a stray dog
From an alley across the street
And my whole mission just seems so finite
My whole saga just seems so cheap

I mean I know that now is all there is
And love just makes you cry
So I live for the sight of a rare bird
Suddenly flying by

And I meet your stare
One eye at a time
Writing in the margins of my mind

Sometimes I see myself
Through the eyes of a stray dog
From an alley across the street
And my whole mission just seems so finite
My whole saga just seems so cheap

And that's when your song calls to me
From way up in a tree
And I look up and the whole world
Is as it should be
Such an intent stare   One eye at a time   Your talons like fish hooks      You are a rare bird   The kind I wouldn't even mind   Writing in the margins of my books      Sometimes I see myself   Through the eyes of a stray dog   From an alley across the street   And my whole mission just seems so finite   My whole saga just seems so cheap      I mean I know that now is all there is   And love just makes you cry   So I live for the sight of a rare bird   Suddenly flying by      And I meet your stare   One eye at a time   Writing in the margins of my mind      Sometimes I see myself   Through the eyes of a stray dog   From an alley across the street   And my whole mission just seems so finite   My whole saga just seems so cheap      And that's when your song calls to me   From way up in a tree   And I look up and the whole world   Is as it should be
