I'm writing in the margins Notes to me and you Because the pages are all filled With new orders coming through I'm writing in the margins Notes to you and me So maybe we'll remember The good that didn't have to be I'm writing in the margins Because our days are spoken for And your nights are with the restless Who were broken in this war I stood twice, and carried once And, yes, I choose to serve But there is no glory in it And my voice goes mosty unheard We go when we are called And hope there's wisdom in the voice And we fall back on our training When the moment leaves no choice I'm writing in the margins Getting closer to the edge I am running out my time I am walking on a ledge I'm writing in the margins A horse that's going blind Staying focused on my mission And attached to my behind I'm writing in the margins Listing all I need to fix You know my job is still in transport Today twenty tons of bricks There's not a lot of rich boys Wearing DCU's and sand But I'll think about that later When I make it home again I'm writing in the margins On the outskirts of a town Thinking of that view On the day you wore that gown I guess I'll try to sleep now When I get this off to you Knowing there is at least one thing In this world that is still true I am writing in the margins I am writing in the margins I am writing in the margins I am writing in the margins I am writing in the margins I am writing in the margins
