SARA ©Stevie Nicks

Wait a minute baby. . .stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone...it doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house...call me home

And he was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match..he was singing
And undoing the laces...undoing the laces

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone...it doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house...call me home
Hold on...the night is coming
And the starling flew for days
I'd stay home at night all the time
I'd go anywhere...anywhere
Ask me and I'm there because I care

Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop...and now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house...I'll come by

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone...it doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house...call me home
All I ever wanted
Was to know that you were dreaming
(There's a heartbeat...
...and it never really died)

"Sara was my favorite (song) for that kind of song. Sara was and is, the love of my life. There are different kinds of favorites. You have your miserable favorites and your happy favorites. I can't pick just one (song)".
Stevie Nicks - Arizona Living Magazine September '83

"Sara was pretty much about Mick. So, he was the 'great dark wing'. And, ah, it was about everything that was going on at that particular time, too, but he was the, the reason for the, you know, the beginning of it."
Stevie Nicks - MTV Fanatic '98
