I laid on a dune, I l ooked at the sky
When the ch ildren were babies and p layed on the beach
You came up behind me I saw you go by
You were always so closed an d still within reach
Sara h,Sar ah w hatever made you wanna change your mind
Sara h, Sa rah, so e asy to look at, so h ard to defin e
I can still see them playin' with their pails in the sand
They r un to the water their b uckets to fill
I can still see the shells fallin' out of their hands
As they f ollow each other bac k up the hill
S arah , Sar ah, sweet virgin angel, sweet lo ve of my life
Sara h, Sara h, radi ant jewel, mysti cal wife
Sleepin' in the wood by a f ire in the night
Dr inkin'white rum in a Po rtugal bar
Them playin'leap-frog and he arin'about Snow White
Yo u in the market place in Sa vanna-la-Mar
Sara h, Sa rah it's all so clear I could ne ver forge t
S arah ,Sara h lovin' you is the one thing I'll neve r regret
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodists bells
I'd ta ken the cure and had j ust gotten through
Stayin'up for days in the Ch elsea Hotel
Writin'"S ad-Eyed Lady of the Lo wlands" for you
Sara h, Sa rah wherever we travel we're ne ver apar t
Sara h, Sa rah beau tiful lady so dear to my heart
H ow did I meet you, I don't know
A messenger sent me in a tropical storm
You were there in the winter moonl ight on the snow
And on L ily Pond Lane when the weather was warm
Sara h, Sa rah Scorpio Sphinx in a ca lico dress
Sara h, Sa rah you mus t forgive me my un worthiness
Now the beach is deserted e xcept for some kelp
And a p iece of an old ship that l ies on the shore
You always responded when I ne eded your help
You gim me a map and a key to your door
Sara h, Sa rah glamorous nymph with an arr ow and bo w
Sara h, Sa rah do n't ever leave me, d on't ever go
