Lyrics

love on the margins for Gini and Mary

love on the margins
sometimes it happens
here in the whirlwind
and in a fine mess
so say the robins
when they make their nest
there is love on the margins
the margins are blest
this is not a dream
this is you and me
at our best (and our worst)
(and our best)


seven swans swimmin’
and six geese a-layin’
and saints all a-prayin’
the stars preach a sermon
without a word spoken
and we say amen
they don’t go on too long
they know when they’re done
they know they’re done
when the light has come

there is no place like the poem we made,
the home we made that made us less alone

there is no place like the home we made
the home that made us
one… fine… poem

love on the margins
sometimes it happens
here in the whirlwind
and in a fine mess
so say the robins, the ducks and the swans, the hawks
and the herons - so say the eagles
when they make their nest
there is love on the margins
the margins are blest
this is not a dream
this is you and me
here in our nest
having a rest
where the margin is blest
