Sara

Am Dm 
I laid on a dune I looked at the sky 
G Am 
When the children were babies And played on the beach 
Am Dm 
You came up to behind me I saw you go by 
G Am 
You were always so close and still within‘ reach 
C Em F 
Sara, Sara 
G F Am 
Whatever made you want to change you mind 
G Bm C 
Sara, Sara 
D C Em 
So easy to look at, so hard to define. 
 
The Other Lyrics 
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 
Then playin‘ leap-frog 
And hearin‘ about Snow White 
You in the market place 
In Savanna-la-Mar 
Sara, Sara 
It‘s all so clear, I could never forget 
Sara, Sara 
Lovin‘ 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 flu 
Stayin‘ up for days 
In the Chelsea Hotel 
Writin‘ "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 
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 peice 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
