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 playing
with their pails in the sand
They run to the water
their buckets to fill.

I can still see the shells
falling 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.

Sleeping in the woods
by a fire in the night
Drinking white rum
in a Portugal bar.

Them playing leapfrog
and hearing about Snow White
You in the marketplace
in Savanna-la-Mar.

Sara, Sara,
It's all so clear, I could never forget
Sara, Sara,
Loving 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.

Staying up for days
in the Chelsea Hotel,
Writing "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.
