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

Sa ra, Sara,
D
Whatever made you
C
Em
want to change your mind?
G
Bm
C
Sa ra, Sara,
D
So easy to look at,
C
Em
so hard to define.
Em
I can still see them playin’
Am
with their pails in the sand,
D
They run to the water
Em
their buckets to fill.
Am
fallin’ out of their hands
D
As they follow each other
Em
back up the hill.

Sa ra, Sara,

Sweet virgin angel,

sweet love of my life,

Sa ra, Sara,
D
Radiant jewel,
C
Em
mystical wife.
Em
Sleepin’ in the woods
Am
by a fire in the night,
D
Drinkin’ white rum
Em
in a Portugal bar,
Am
and hearin’ about Snow White,
D
You in the marketplace
Em
in Savanna-la-Mar.

Sa ra, Sara,
D
It’s all so clear,
C
Em
I could never forget,
G
Bm
C
Sa ra, Sara,
D
Lovin’ you is the one thing
C
Em
I’ll never regret.
Em
I can still hear the sounds
Am
of those Methodist bells,
D
I’d taken the cure
Em
and had just gotten through,
Am
in the Chelsea Hotel,
D
Writin’ “Sad-Eyed Lady
Em
of the Lowlands” for you.

Sa ra, Sara,

Wherever we travel

Sa ra, oh Sara,
D
Beautiful lady,
C
Em
so dear to my heart.
Em
How did I meet you?
Am
I don’t know.
D
A messenger sent me
Em
in a tropical storm.
Am
moonlight on the snow
D
And on Lily Pond Lane
Em
when the weather was warm.
G
Bm
C
Sa ra, oh Sara,
D
Scorpio Sphinx
C
Em
in a calico dress,
G
Bm
C
Sa ra, Sara,
D
You must forgive me
C
Em
my unworthiness.
Em
Now the beach is deserted
Am
except for some kelp
D
And a piece of an old ship
Em
that lies on the shore.
Am
when I needed your help,
D
You gave me a map
Em
and a key to your door.
G

C
Sa ra, oh Sara,
D
Glamorous nymph
C
Em
with an arrow and bow,
G

C
Sa ra, oh Sara,
D
Don’t ever leave me,
C
Em
don’t ever go.
