[Verse]
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 close and still within reach

[Chorus]
Sara, Sara
Whatever made you want to change your mind?
Sara, Sara
So easy to look at, so hard to define

[Verse]
I can still see them playing with their pails in the sand
They run to the water, their buckets to fill
I can still see the shells falling out of their hands
As they follow each other back up the hill

[Chorus]
Sara, Sara
Sweet virgin angel, sweet lovе of my life
Sara, Sara
Radiant jewel, mystical wifе

[Verse]
Sleep in the woods by a fire in the night
I was drinking white rum in a Portugal bar
Them playing leapfrog and hearing about Snow White
You were in the market in Savanna-la-Mar
[Chorus]
Sara, Sara
It’s all so clear, I could never forget
Sara, Sara
Loving you is one thing I’ll never regret

[Verse]
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
I’d taken the cure and had just gotten through
Staying up for days in the Chelsea Hotel
Writing “Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands” for you

[Chorus]
Sara, Sara
Wherever we travel, we’re never apart
Sara, Sara
Beautiful lady so dear to my heart

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
Sara, Sara
Scorpio sphinx in a calico dress
Sara, Sara
You must forgive me my unworthiness
[Verse]
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 give me a map and a key to your door

[Chorus]
Sara, Sara
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Sara, Sara
Don’t ever leave me, don’t ever go
