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
So if you build your house
Well, then, call me

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

Oooh, oooh

Said, Sara
You're the poet in my heart
Never change, darlin', never stop
But now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
But if you build your house
Well, then, call me home

Ooh, the man says "Hold on, babe
The night is coming"
And the starling flew for days and days
Well, I'd stay home at night all the time
Well, I could go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
Ask me and I will be there
Well, you ask me and I'm there, 'cause I care

In the sea of love
Ooh, I know every one of you would just love to drown
But now it's gone
You say it doesn't matter anymore
But when you build your house
Call me home

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
But if you build your house
I will come by

Sara, ooh, oooh
Ooh, Sara

All I ever wanted
Was to know that you were dreaming
Sara

Oooh, Sara

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

See the original Sara for most of my thoughts on this song. But there's one significant difference. In this live version, she changes "now it's gone, it doesn't matter anymore" to "it's never gone, it always matters what for" in the last stanza. That hearbeat never really died, the memory stays with her, and it does matter. It always will.
