[00:39.80]I laid on a dune, i looked at the sky,
[00:43.87]When the children were babies and played on the beach.
[00:48.58]You came up behind me, i saw you go by,
[00:54.07]You were always so close and still within reach.
[00:58.11]Sara, sara,
[01:02.10]Whatever made you want to change your mind?
[01:06.93]Sara, sara,
[01:11.26]So easy to look at, so hard to define.
[01:19.41]I can still see them playin' with their pails in the sand,
[01:23.88]They run to the water their buckets to fill.
[01:28.16]I can still see the shells fallin' out of their hands
[01:32.80]As they follow each other back up the hill.
[01:37.53]Sara, sara,
[01:42.34]Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life,
[01:44.70]Sara, sara,
[01:51.26]Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
[01:59.43]Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night,
[02:03.65]Drinkin' white rum in a portugal bar,
[02:08.35]Them playin' leapfrog and hearin' about snow white,
[02:12.75]You in the marketplace in savanna-la-mar.
[02:17.45]Sara, sara,
[02:21.90]It's all so clear, i could never forget,
[02:26.65]Sara, sara,
[02:31.45]Lovin' you is the one thing i'll never regret.
[02:40.36]I can still hear the sounds of those methodist bells,
[02:44.69]I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through,
[02:49.67]Stayin' up for days in the chelsea hotel,
[02:53.98]Writin' "sad-eyed lady of the lowlands" for you.
[02:59.17]Sara, sara,
[03:03.15]Wherever we travel we're never apart.
[03:08.17]Sara, oh sara,
[03:12.71]Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart.
[03:22.26]How did i meet you? i don't know.
[03:26.60]A messenger sent me in a tropical storm.
[03:31.02]You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow
[03:35.47]And on lily pond lane when the weather was warm.
[03:40.35]Sara, oh sara,
[03:44.91]Scorpio sphinx in a calico dress,
[03:49.56]Sara, sara,
[03:54.17]You must forgive me my unworthiness.
[04:03.48]Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
[04:07.82]And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore.
[04:12.41]You always responded when i needed your help,
[04:17.26]You gimme a map and a key to your door.
[04:23.00]Sara, oh sara,
[04:26.49]Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow,
[04:31.02]Sara, oh sara,
[04:35.93]Don't ever leave me, don't ever go.
