    Lyrics:
    I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky,
    When the children were babies and played on the beach.
    You came up behind me, I saw you go by,
    You were always so close and still within reach.
    Sara, Sara,
    Whatever made you want to change your mind?
    Sara, Sara,
    So easy to look at, so hard to define.
    I can still 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' leapfrog and hearin' about Snow White,
    You in the marketplace 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 piece 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.

    Circa 1990 I was in my pajamas, sitting on an old wooden, rectangle coffee table with an old ashtray on it stuffed with butts from my mother. The night before, my parents had a pretty bad fight, glass was broken, and plates were smashed all over the floor. My father was up still with his huge speakers blaring my mother was nowhere to be found and he sat with me and we listened to this album and I've been in love since. Miss my dad and my mom, even though it wasn't the greatest those moments made it worth it.

    Bob Dylan and his wife Sara were estranged at the time..He wrote this song for Sara. Sara was present at the studio and listened "from the other side of the glass" as Dylan recorded the song , Dylan turned to Sara just before beginning the song, and stated, "This one's for you." This is the first take and its perfect.
    Bob and Sara reconciled after the recording of the song but would divorce in 1977.

    Bob Dylan is an absolute legend, all these years later and there's still no one with his unique kind of raw talent. His success wasn't based on his looks or dance moves or the traditional idea of a "good voice" it was based on his artistic ability and his poetic way with words. All his songs are so different to everything else and somehow seem more meaningful than alot of others. His one of a kind and should never be forgotten.

      Lennon and McCartney are very good but for me the only one that comes even remotely close for depth, sadness, laughter, love, feel and poetic beauty is Shane MacGowan. His catalog of songs is unparalleled by anyone in this day and age. No dancing, looking pretty or changing to suit a wider audience. A true poet that will live forever in the hearts and minds. Thanks Shane.

      Yes, but note the minor key, they wailing harmonica and the pleadng for her not to go, which of course we all know she did about 1-1/2 years after this masterpiece was recorded. she couldn't stand his philandering, certainly understandable, and she took him for half of his considerable wealth. many of Dylan's songs, indeed, whole albums, are "sad." Time out of Mind for example, and many others. It is a very sad yet gorgeous song. thanks for commenting Elizabeth. Ihave a daughter with that name, only with an s instead of a z.

    I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky,
    When the children were babies and played on the beach.
    You came up behind me, I saw you go by,
    You were always so close and still within reach.
    Sara, Sara,
    Whatever made you want to change your mind?
    Sara, Sara,
    So easy to look at, so hard to define.
    I can still 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' leapfrog and hearin' about Snow White,
    You in the marketplace 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 piece 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.

      I agree. It's as though Bob's letting us into his world - "that song I wrote, that everyone loves and this is another one".
      I love the way it starts with him and his kids on a beach, full of life and fun and the laughter of kids, a real family setting. And then how it ends up on the same beach but now empty and devoid of all past happy domestic scene and just replaced by an old shipwreck and kelp. Just so much imagery,.
      Such an evocative song. Sad and possibly angry and perhaps a little confused - he asks "why did you change?". So so relatable.

      Second, get some kind of guitar tuner if you can't do it by ear (and trust me, you can't.)

He knows us by name and he knows every hair on our head. 2. existence of man. living in flawed flesh , confessions , then spirit filled, weeping in the awareness of love and forgiveness, pool of tears flooding the new born seed. Its the only way we can put one foot in front of the other and continue the jouney.
