| Intro: |
   |
| |
| 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 |
| Bridge: |
|
|
| 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 |
| Bridge: |
| D Em Em Em x2 |
| Ending: |
| Em Em D Em x2 |
