(official lyrics) I laid on a dune, i looked at the sky When the children were babies an' played on the beach You came up behind me, i saw you go by You were always so close an' still within reach. Sara, Sara Whatever made you wanna 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' leap-frog an' 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 an' had just gotten thru 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 An' on Lilly 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 An' a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore You always responded when i needed your help You gimme a map an' a key to your door. Sara, oh Sara Glamorous nymph with an arrow an' bow Sara, oh Sara Don't ever leave me, don't ever go.
