Lyrics
Margarita
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Her family lives in a trailor
Five miles out of town
He's crazy said the neighbors
I was white--she was brown
But we'd just run to the river
And lay our bodies down
Between her sighs we'd love away the lies
That followed us around
Margarita, Margarita
The softness of your body and the hunger in my soul
Are the only secrets I'll ever know
Margarita
We grew up together
While our families worked the land
And the shadows never touched
The places where we ran
But as the years went driftin' by
The harvest turned to sand
She went away--I had to stay
I'll never understand
Margarita, Margarita
The softness of your body and the hunger in my soul
Are the only secrets I'll ever know
Margarita
Sometimes in the evenin'
At the closing of the day
I look down on the valley
Where we used to lay
And now there's just a whisper
Of an old familiar name
Margarita, give anything to see you
It feels that good to say
Margarita, Margarita
The softness of your body and the hunger in my soul
Are the only secrets I'll ever know
Margarita
