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, 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, 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, Sara |
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow |
Sara, Sara |
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go |
