Sara
I laid on a dune I looked at the skyWhen the children were babies and played on the beachYou came up behind me, I saw you go byYou were always so close and still within reach.
Sara, SaraWhatever made you want to change your mindSara, SaraSo easy to look at, so hard to define.
I can still see them playing with their pails in the sandThey run to the water their buckets to fillI can still see the shells falling out of their handsAs they follow each other back up the hill.
Sara, SaraSweet virgin angel, sweet love of my lifeSara, SaraRadiant jewel, mystical wife.
Sleeping in the woods by a fire in the nightDrinking white rum in a Portugal barThem playing leapfrog and hearing about Snow WhiteYou in the marketplace in Savanna-la-Mar.
Sara, SaraIt's all so clear, I could never forgetSara, SaraLoving you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bellsI'd taken the cure and had just gotten throughStaying up for day in the Chelsea HotelWriting "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you.
Sara, SaraWherever we travel we're never apartSara, SaraBeautiful lady, so dear to my heart.How did I meet you ? I don't knowA messenger sent me in a tropical stormYou were there in the winter, moonlight on the snowAnd on Lily Pond Lane when the weather was warm.
Sara, SaraScorpio Sphinx in a calico dressSara, SaraYou must forgive me my unworthiness.
Now the beach is deserted except for some kelpAnd a piece of an old ship that lies on the shoreYou always responded when I needed your helpYou gimme a map and a key to your door.
Sara, SaraGlamorous nymph with an arrow and bowSara, SaraDon't ever leave me, don't ever go
