Sara - Live at Tucson, 8/28/80

It's a letter...
One of Stevie's, it was a single not too long ago
It's a real pretty, it's called "Sara"

Wait a minute, baby
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me 'bout the fire

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for
But if you build your house
Call me

He was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
And I think I had met my match
Ooh, he was singing to me

And undoing
Ooh-ooh-ooh, undoing
Oh-oh-oh, the laces
Undoing the laces

He said, "Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, darling, never stop"
But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for
But if you build your house
Call me

Then the man said, "Hold on, baby, the night is coming
And the starling flew for days and days"
I'd just stay home at night, all the time
When I would go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
Just ask me and I will be there
Ask me and I'll be there 'cause I care

Oh, in the sea of love
Well, I know every one of us
We just love to drown
It's never gone, it always matters what for
So if you build your house then I'll call you

Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change and don't you ever stop
It's never gone, it always matters what for
So when you build your house I will be there

Ooh, Sara (oh-oh-oh-oh)
On down through the night
Oh, Sara (oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's a heartbeat, I know it never really died
It never really died
Swallow all your pride
Ooh, it was such a heartache

All I ever wanted was to know
You are dreaming, Sara
Ooh, we used to do the crazy way
Because it will make you smile, Sara
Oh-oh, say Sara

Thank you
Thank you very much
