Sara (Live 1980)

[Spoken Word: Lindsey Buckingham]

This is another song off of our album Tusk, and this is a song by Stevie Nicks called "Sara."

[Verse 1]

Wait a minute baby

Stay with me awhile

Said you'd give me light

But you never told me ’bout the fire

[Chorus 1]

Drowning in the sea of love

Where everyone would love to drown

But now it's gone

It doesn't matter what for

When you build your house

Then call me home

[Verse 2]

And he was just like a great dark wing

Within the wings of a storm

I think I had met my match

He was singing

And undoing, and undoing

Ooh the laces

Undoing the laces

[Chorus 2]

Said Sara, you’re the poet in my heart

Never change, never stop

But now it's gone

It doesn't matter what for

But when you build your house

Oh then call me home

[Verse 3]

Hold on

The night is coming and the starling flew for days

I'd stay home at night all the time

I'd go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere

Ask me and I'm there, yeah

Ask me and I'm there 'cause I care

[Chorus 1]

In the sea of love

Where every woman would love to drown

But now it’s gone

They say it doesn’t matter anymore

If you build your house

Then please, call me home

[Chorus 2]

Sara, you're the poet in my heart

Never change, and don’t you ever stop

And now it's gone

No, it doesn't matter anymore

When you build your house

I'll come by

[Outro]

Sara

All I ever wanted, was to know that you were dreaming, Sara

There’s a heartbeat that never really died

Oh, won't you swallow your pride?
