Sarah Said Lyrics

The Shenandoah valley

Where you first made love

Said it didn't last long enough

You just laid out in his bed

Big green Yosemite

Sleeping in a truck stop

Back streets parking lots

Said that you had enough

After the hundredth one

And Sarah said

She's Down to stay the night

Be gone by morning time

To Leave it all behind

Their daughter's not another slave you say

To this big American bird cage

Said you saw a demon at it's gates

Only comes from nine to five

Let's you go at sixty five

You fell apart at twenty five

Called your mom to say goodbye

She still wakes up and cries

In the middle of the night

And Sarah said

She's down to stay the night

Be gone by morning time

To leave it all behind

Let's leave it all behind

Let's leave it all behind

Let's leave it all behind

You're the daughter

Of the highway

And cities

That surround them

A descendant

Of the mountains

And the treetops

They're dressed up in

Force of habit

To feel enchanted

By the spaces

We inhabit

Hope I'll see you

One good last time

Here in Jersey

In my lifetime
