| 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,
|
| Its all so clear, I could never forget,
|
| Sara, sara,
|
| Lovin you is the one thing Ill never regret.
|
| I can still hear the sounds of those methodist bells,
|
| Id 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 were never apart.
|
| Sara, oh sara,
|
| Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart.
|
| How did I meet you? |
| I dont 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,
|
| Dont ever leave me, dont ever go. |
