Sara

[Verse] I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky When the children were babies and played on the beach You came up behind me, I saw you go by You were always so close and still within reach [Chorus] Sara, Sara Whatever made you want to change your mind? Sara, Sara So easy to look at, so hard to define [Verse] I can still see them playing with their pails in the sand They run to the water, their buckets to fill I can still see the shells falling out of their hands As they follow each other back up the hill [Chorus] Sara, Sara Sweet virgin angel, sweet lovе of my life Sara, Sara Radiant jewel, mystical wifе [Verse] Sleep in the woods by a fire in the night I was drinking white rum in a Portugal bar Them playing leapfrog and hearing about Snow White You were in the market in Savanna-la-Mar [Chorus] Sara, Sara It’s all so clear, I could never forget Sara, Sara Loving you is one thing I’ll never regret [Verse] I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells I’d taken the cure and had just gotten through Staying up for days in the Chelsea Hotel Writing “Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands” for you [Chorus] Sara, Sara Wherever we travel, we’re never apart Sara, Sara Beautiful lady so dear to my heart [Verse] How did I meet you? I don’t know A messenger sent me in a tropical storm You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow And on Lily Pond Lane when the weather was warm [Chorus] Sara, Sara Scorpio sphinx in a calico dress Sara, Sara You must forgive me my unworthiness [Verse] Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore You always responded when I needed your help You give me a map and a key to your door [Chorus] Sara, Sara Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow Sara, Sara Don’t ever leave me, don’t ever go
