Lyrics

[00:39.80] I laid on a dune, i looked at the sky,
[00:43.87] When the children were babies and played on the beach.
[00:48.58] You came up behind me, i saw you go by,
[00:54.07] You were always so close and still within reach.
[00:58.11] Sara, sara,
[01:02.10] Whatever made you want to change your mind?
[01:06.93] Sara, sara,
[01:11.26] So easy to look at, so hard to define.
[01:19.41] I can still see them playin' with their pails in the sand,
[01:23.88] They run to the water their buckets to fill.
[01:28.16] I can still see the shells fallin' out of their hands
[01:32.80] As they follow each other back up the hill.
[01:37.53] Sara, sara,
[01:42.34] Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life,
[01:44.70] Sara, sara,
[01:51.26] Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
[01:59.43] Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night,
[02:03.65] Drinkin' white rum in a portugal bar,
[02:08.35] Them playin' leapfrog and hearin' about snow white,
[02:12.75] You in the marketplace in savanna-la-mar.
[02:17.45] Sara, sara,
[02:21.90] It's all so clear, i could never forget,
[02:26.65] Sara, sara,
[02:31.45] Lovin' you is the one thing i'll never regret.
[02:40.36] I can still hear the sounds of those methodist bells,
[02:44.69] I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through,
[02:49.67] Stayin' up for days in the chelsea hotel,
[02:53.98] Writin' "sad-eyed lady of the lowlands" for you.
[02:59.17] Sara, sara,
[03:03.15] Wherever we travel we're never apart.
[03:08.17] Sara, oh sara,
[03:12.71] Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart.
[03:22.26] How did i meet you? i don't know.
[03:26.60] A messenger sent me in a tropical storm.
[03:31.02] You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow
[03:35.47] And on lily pond lane when the weather was warm.
[03:40.35] Sara, oh sara,
[03:44.91] Scorpio sphinx in a calico dress,
[03:49.56] Sara, sara,
[03:54.17] You must forgive me my unworthiness.
[04:03.48] Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
[04:07.82] And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore.
[04:12.41] You always responded when i needed your help,
[04:17.26] You gimme a map and a key to your door.
[04:23.00] Sara, oh sara,
[04:26.49] Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow,
[04:31.02] Sara, oh sara,
[04:35.93] Don't ever leave me, don't ever go.
