They run to the water their buckets to fill
So easy to look at, so hard to define
Sara, Sara
Sara, Sara
Sara, Sara
Sara, Sara
I can still see the shells fallin' out of their hands
You gave me a map and a key to your door
And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore
I could still see them playin' with their pails in the sand
Sara, Sara
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
You always responded when I needed your help
Whatever made you wanna change your mind?
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
Sara, Sara
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
It's oh so clear I can never forget
Writin' 'Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands' for you
Sara, oh Sara
As they follow each other back up the hill
Sara, Sara
I was too young to know you were doin' it late
Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night
Lovin' you is one thing I'll never regret
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
Wherever we travel we're never apart
Where you fought for my soul and went up against the odds
Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
Sara, Sara
You were always so close and still within reach
Sara, Sara
And you did it with strength that belonged to the guards
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Beautiful lady so dear to my heart
Radiant jewel, mystical wife
Stayin' up for days in the Chelsea Hotel
