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 closed and still within reach Sarah,Sarah whatever made you wanna change your mind Sarah, Sarah, 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 Sarah, Sarah, sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life Sarah, Sarah, radiant jewel, mystical wife Sleepin' in the wood by a fire in the night Drinkin'white rum in a Portugal bar Them playin'leap-frog and hearin'about Snow White You in the market place in Savanna-la-Mar Sarah, Sarah it's all so clear I could never forget Sarah,Sarah lovin'you is the one thing I'll never regret   I can still hear the sounds of those Methodists 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 Sarah, Sarah wherever we travel we're never apart Sarah, Sarah 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 Sarah, Sarah Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress Sarah, Sarah 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 Sarah, Sarah glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow Sarah, Sarah don't ever leave me, don't ever go
