Paul Williams - 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 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
