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
