i laid on a dune
i looked at the sky
when the children were babies
an` played on the beach
you came up behind me
i saw you go by
you were always so close an`
still within reach.
sara, sara
whatever made you wanna change your mind
sara, sara
so easy to look at, so hard to define.
i can still see them playin`
with their palls in the sand
the 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` leap-frog
anhearin about snowwhite
you in the market place
in savanna-la-mar.
sara, sara
it`s all so clear, i could never forget
sara, sara
lovinyou is the one thing ill never regret.
i can still hear the sounds
of those methodist bells
i`d taken the cure
an` had just gotten thru
stayin` up for days
in the chelsea hotel
wrintin`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
an` on lilly 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
an` a piece of an old ship
that lies on the shore
you always responded
when i needed your help
you gimme a map
an` a key to your door.
sara, oh sara
glamorous nymph with an arrow an` bow
sara, oh sara
dont ever leave me, dont ever go.
