| Lyrics: | 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.
Sara, Sara,
Whatever made you want to change your mind?
Sara,
Sara,
So easy to look at, so hard to define.
I can still see them playin' with their
pails in the sand,
They run to the water their buckets to fill.
I can still see the shells
fallin' out of their hands
As they follow each other back up the hill.
Sara,
Sara,
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life,
Sara, Sara,
Radiant jewel, mystical
wife.
Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night,
Drinkin' white rum in a Portugal
bar,
Them playin' leapfrog and hearin' about Snow White,
You in the marketplace in
Savanna-la-Mar.
Sara, Sara,
It's all so clear, I could never forget,
Sara,
Sara,
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I can still hear the sounds of
those Methodist bells,
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through,
Stayin' up for days
in the Chelsea Hotel,
Writin' "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you.
Sara,
Sara,
Wherever we travel we're never apart.
Sara, oh Sara,
Beautiful lady, so dear to
my heart.
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.
Sara, oh Sara,
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress,
Sara,
Sara,
You must forgive me my unworthiness.
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 gimme a map and a key to your door.
Sara, oh Sara,
Glamorous
nymph with an arrow and bow,
Sara, oh Sara,
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go |
