 Sara  -  Bob Dylan

 (’Desire’ album)
 
 
   Em                Am                          D                         Em
 I laid on a dune  I looked at the sky  When the children were babies  And played on the beach
                             Am                       D                     Em
 You came up to behind me  I saw you go by   You were always so close  and still within’ reach
 G  Bm  C
 Sara,  Sara
 D                            C       Em
 Whatever made you want to change you mind
 G  Bm  C
 Sara,  Sara
    D                     C        Em
 So easy to look at, so hard to define.
 
 
 I can syill 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
