Sara
by:Bob Dylan

I laid on a dune
I looked at the sky
When the children were babies
And played on the beach
You came up to behind me
I saw you go by
You were always so close
and still within' reach

Sara, Sara
Whatever made you
want to change you mind
Sara, Sara
So easy to look at,
so hard to define.

I can still see them playin'
With their pails in the sand
They run to the water
Their buckets to fill
I can still see the shells
Fallin' out of their hands
As they follow each other
Back up the hill

Sara, Sara
Sweet virgin angel,
sweet love of my life
Sara, Sara
Radiant jewel,
mystical wife

Sleepin' in the woods
By a fire in the night
Drinkin' white rum
In a Portugal bar
Them playin' leap-frog
And hearin' about Snow White
You in the market place
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 peice of an old ship
That lies on the shore
You always responded
When I needed your help
You gimme 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
