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
