Song lyrics In the margins by Ani Difranco

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´ll 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 fine
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
