Sara     Album Desire  

 Slag is
down down down        down down down
  Em                                   Am  
I laid on a dune,            I looked at the sky,
         D                                                 Em
When the children were babies    and played on the beach.
    Em                                          Am
You came up behind me,      I saw you go by,
         D                                      Em
You were always so close    and still within reach.

G       Am
Sara, Sara,
D                         C                                Em
Whatever made you want to change your mind?
G       Am
Sara, Sara,
D                      C       Em
So easy to look at, so hard to define.

Em                                                 Am
I can still see them playin     ' with their pails in the sand,
D                                          Em
They run to the water      their buckets to fill.
Em                                                        Am
I can still see the shells fallin     ' out of their hands
D                                               Em
As they follow each other    back up the hill.

G       Am
Sara, Sara,
D                                           C                  Em              
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life,
G       Am
Sara, Sara,
D                         C             Em
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.

 Em                                      Am
Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night,
      D                                   Em
Drinkin' white rum in a Portugal bar,
 Em                                                        Am
Them playin' leapfrog and hearin' about Snow White,
  D                                                          Em
You in the marketplace in Savanna-la-Mar.  *)

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

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

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.    **)

Sara, oh Sara,
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress,
Sara, Sara,
You must forgive me my unworthiness.

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 gave me 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
