Margarita

Her family lived in a trailer
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 in 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......
