Sara

Album: Desire (1976)

  • 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

    Sara, Sara
    Whatever made you want to change your mind?
    Sara, Sara
    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

    Sara, Sara
    Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
    Sara, Sara
    Radiant jewel, mystical wife

    Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night
    Where you fought for my soul and went up against the odds
    I was too young to know you were doing it right
    And you did it with strength that belonged to the Gods

    Sara, Sara
    Wherever we travel we're never apart
    Sara, oh Sara
    Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart

    I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist 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

    Sara, Sara
    It's all so clear, I could never forget
    Sara, Sara
    Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret

    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

    Sara, oh Sara
    Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
    Sara, oh Sara
    Don't ever leave me, don't ever go Writer/s: Bob Dylan
