Sara - Single; 2018 Remaster Lyrics
Fleetwood Mac
Lyrics
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
But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
Then 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
(Oh-oh-oh) and undoing
(Oh-oh-oh) the laces
(Oh-oh-oh) undoing the laces
(Oh-oh-oh)
In the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it's gone, they say it doesn't matter anymore
If you build your house
Then please call me home
Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change and don't you ever stop
Now it's gone, no, it doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house, I'll come by
Oh, Sara
Oh-oh
Oh, Sara
Crazy
There's a heartbeat and it never really died
Heartbeat that never really died (Sarah)
Would you swallow all your pride?
Could you speak a little louder? (Sarah)
All I ever wanted was to know that you are dreaming
