Sara

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, Where you fought for my soul and went up against the odds I was too young to know you were doing it right And you did it with strength that belonged to the Gods Sara, Sara, Wherever we travel we're never apart Sara, oh Sara, Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart 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, It's all so clear, I could never forget, Sara, Sara, Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret 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, Don't ever leave me, don't ever go
