lyrics

[Display 4.] "Sara"

She squinted her eyes and looked at him
Hiding behind his two-dollar gin.
She took his hand when the song began
And they stood on the dance floor, let the room start to spin.

Sara, Sara, she let them in
When their weight was heavy and their love was thin.

Then another man cried from the side of the road.
His stomach was empty and his face was cold.
She lit a fire and he warmed his bones
And he watched as she slowly unbuttoned her coat.

Sara, Sara, she’s been good.
She took them in, as YOU never would.

When she told him to leave, he said, “Baby please,”
“I’d be nothing if you let go of me.”
But when she woke up the room was bare.
Took the telephone, lamp and her old rocking chair.

Sara, Sara hears their calls
Picks them up and she breaks their falls.

I was twenty-four when she met me.
I was chasing the highway, she was working the street.
I gave her my arms for a single night.
And she gave me her last living spark of light.
