  • It's not home
    And it's not Tara
    In fact, do I know you?
    Have I been here before?
    This is a dream, right?
    Déjà vu
    Did I come here on my own?

    Oh I see
    Welcome to the room, Sara, for Scarlett
    Welcome to the choir, sir

    Ooh
    Missionary
    Well, I will be different
    When I get back
    And you can take all of the credit
    You say everything's fine, baby
    But sometimes at night

    Where the first cut is the deepest one of all (Scarlett)
    (First cut is the deepest one of all)
    And the second one
    Well it's a worthless thing, so take it all the way back home
    Take it home

    Ooh, downstairs where the big old house is mine
    Ooh, upstairs where the stars laugh and shine
    Oh, oh, well I thought that you were mine
    Well, I thought that you were mine (you were mine)

    Welcome to the room, Sara, Sara (for Scarlett)
    Welcome to the choir, sir
    Well of course it was a problem (for Scarlett)

    Front line, baby
    Well you held her prisoner
    And after all these years
    Well as well as you knew her (welcome)

    In the never forgotten words (never forgotten words)
    of another one of your friends
    In the never forgotten words (never forgotten words)
    of another one of your friends, baby

    When you hang up that phone
    Well, you cease to exist
    Welcome to the room, Sara
    Welcome
    Welcome to the room everyone Writer/s: Stephanie Nicks

  • Claire from BifSara is in fact a woman called Sara Decor.... When Stevie had an affair with Mick Fleetwood, he broke her heart by dumping her for her best friend. The meaning of 'welcome to the room, Sara' is that her friend had now become part of the tumultuous relationships in this group. 'The first cut is the deepest one of all, and the second one...' Referring to the heartache from the relationships with Lindsay Buckingham, then Fleetwood. 'well, I thought that you were mine' self explanatory that one. And the last verse 'when you hang up that phone, you cease to exist, welcome to the room Sara', welcome,. Welcome everyone'. She's referring to a conversation she had with Mick Fleetwood and the end of the relationship after she found out about Sara. And now everyone knows .
