Sara, Sara
They run to the water their buckets to fill
You always responded when I needed your help
I was too young to know you were doin' it late

Sara, oh Sara
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
Writin' 'Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands' for you
I can still see the shells fallin' out of their hands

Radiant jewel, mystical wife
Sara, Sara
Sara, Sara
You were always so close and still within reach
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
So easy to look at, so hard to define
Sara, Sara
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through

Sara, Sara
Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night

It's oh so clear I can never forget
Lovin' you is one thing I'll never regret

Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
Sara, Sara
Beautiful lady so dear to my heart
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go
Stayin' up for days in the Chelsea Hotel
Where you fought for my soul and went up against the odds
And you did it with strength that belonged to the guards
Sara, Sara
And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore
Sara, Sara
Sara, Sara

Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
You gave me a map and a key to your door
Whatever made you wanna change your mind?
Wherever we travel we're never apart
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
I could still see them playin' with their pails in the sand

As they follow each other back up the hill
