Margaret Barry broke my heart, with her stories and a harp.
Like a moment in the dark, Margaret Barry broke my heart.
Margaret Barry stole my breath, with a banjo against her breast,
Let the candles sing a prayer like a crowd of stars in her hair
In your face another time, I can trace every line,
Runs me through like a knife, I think I've known you all my life
Now Margaret Barry has gone away but her voice still wrecks my day,
Like a murder in the park Margaret Barry broke my heart
Margaret Barry broke my heart, Margaret Barry broke my heart.
Margaret married the clear air, rode her bicycle everywhere
