John Gorka "Writing in the Margins" 3-13-10

"Writing in the Margins" by John Gorka - Sat, March 13 2010, at the Aladdin Theater in Portland, OR. In concert with Patty Larkin

LYRICS:
I'm writing in the margins
Notes to me and you
Cause the pages are all filled
With new orders coming through

I am writing in the margins
Notes to you and me
So maybe well remember
The good that didnt have to be

I am writing in the margins
Cause 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 mostly unheard


We go when we are called
And hope theres wisdom in the voice
And we fall back on our training
When the moment leaves no choice

I am writing in the margins
Getting closer to the edge
I am running out my time
I am walking on a ledge

I am writing in the margins
On a horse thats going blind
Staying focused on my mission
And attached to my behind

I am writing in the margins
This day all I need to fix
You know my job is still in transport
Today twenty tons of bricks

Theres not a lot of rich boys
Wearing DCUs in sand
But Ill think about that later
When I make it home again


I am writing in the margins
On the outskirts of a town
Pickking up at you
On the day you wore that gown

I guess Ill try to sleep now
When I get this off to you
Knowing there is at least one thing
In this world that is 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
