Sara

Sara, Sara
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Sara, Sara
Radiant jewel, mystical wife
Beautiful lady so dear to my heart
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night
I can still see the shells fallin' out of their hands
Sara, Sara
So easy to look at, so hard to define

Stayin' up for days in the Chelsea Hotel
And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore

Whatever made you wanna change your mind?
You were always so close and still within reach
Sara, Sara
You gave me a map and a key to your door
I could still see them playin' with their pails in the sand
Wherever we travel we're never apart
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
Sara, Sara
Sara, Sara
Lovin' you is one thing I'll never regret

Sara, Sara
They run to the water their buckets to fill

It's oh so clear I can never forget
Sara, Sara

I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
You always responded when I needed your help
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
Where you fought for my soul and went up against the odds
Sara, oh Sara

Sara, Sara
Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
As they follow each other back up the hill
I was too young to know you were doin' it late
And you did it with strength that belonged to the guards
Writin' 'Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands' for you
