Ani Difranco Minerva Lyrics

Minerva Lyrics

You wandered in to the forest

Following that shiny red ball

And by the time you looked up

You were lost but that's not all



You confused your journey with my journey

You tried to nail me like Minerva to your bow

But my job here is not to deliver you

But to hold a mirror 'till you see how



Oh say can you see me?

Oh I say can you see me?

Oh I say can you see me over here, over here?



You want me to tell you a story

But I am weary of entertaining

I'll have more to say when I'm happy

'Course, then I'll have less to sing



But there's no me left for me

No incidental time of day

No wild adventures except in darkness

So dark I'd rather not say



Oh say can you see me?

Oh I say can you see me?

Oh I say can you see me over here

Over here, right over here?
