And she asked me 　　　　What her baby’d been missing 　　　　And I shake my head 　　　　Can’t think of nothing 　　　　But candy wrappers

Tucked into the folds of the bed 　　　　And how I don’t see them around 　　　　Since Sarah left town

Now people always think they know you 　　　　And they’re almost always wrong 　　　　Tried to bend you till they broke you

So she moved along 　　　　And sometimes I see them around 　　　　Since Sarah left town 　　　　Trying to track her down

Sarah, Sarah Sarah, Sarah She’s chasing her soul 　　　　Not running away 　　　　If you’d just let her go 　　　　She’ll know the way

And I saw her mother this morning 　　　　She looked me in the eye

She said: “you know sometimes, I think I hear her laughing 　　　　 And all I can do is cry” 　　　　And it’s a funny thing about people

How everyone has a song 　　　　And he sings it every moment 　　　　But we don’t hear it until he’s gone 　　　　And sometimes I see them around

Since Sarah left town 　　　　They’re humming with heads hanging down 　　　　 　　　　Sarah, Sarah 　　　　Sarah, Sarah
