Margarita Lyrics

Her family lives 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 drifting 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 evening 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
