lirik lagu indio saravanja - who remembers margaret?

this used to be a different town
it was a different scene
n0body talks about it now
but that don’t mean a thing
sometimes i get to thinking
when i get those home town blues
and in memories of friends back there
i think about her too

but now who remembers margaret?
the queen of all downtown
big eyes behind dark glasses
the black hair coming down
the headband and the parka
and the way she’d always grin
the burn marks on her face and hands
the moose hide moccasins
she would talk to every stranger
always with a smile to lend
and if you ever gave her money
it was ’cause she was your friend
keeping ‘daddy’ in his crutches
and a bottle in her bag
he would stay out of her clutches
but she was everything he had

sometimes she’d sit there laughing
as drunk as anything
sometimes she’d try to chase you
sometimes she’d dance and sing
there was one time, selling papers
she caught me standing there outside
and said ‘be my baby, paperboy’
and held me as she cried

i told my mom about it
and she said one time in the past
margaret went out to the hospital
and broke a bunch of glass
’cause they’d taken all her babies
so she tried to steal one back
they caught her by the door she said…
can you imagine that
in the summer heat we’d comb the sidewalks
for coins and rocks and colts
stick ’em in our mouths for taste
and pretend that we could smoke
when we’d get tired of the woods
and race our bikes downtown
somehow we all felt safer
knowing margaret was around

and then we all got older
and went away to school
down south where no one knew our names
and people had more rules
i guess i took for granted
things back home would never change
but margaret was already gone
when i came back again

would you know she ran for mayor
man the whole town had a laugh
and so many people loved her
that she almost won by half
some said it made her stronger
that she took it all in stride
but it wasn’t too much longer after that
they said she died
she left ronnie, she left billie
johnny bones and no hands joe
they’re all gone now like the others
gone like the wind that blows
but now who remembers margaret
singing as she shoveled snow
i can’t walk by the post office
without seeing her there you know

i can’t walk by the post office
without seeing her there you know
