Sarah Dear

[Verse] Now once there was a maid so fair The moon would shine right through her. In caverns deep, she dwelt below. A world that never knew her. She waited long, but every night. The dreams they always came. A gentle song, a world of light. So far above the gray. [Chorus] Sarah dear, The world above. It shines a light you’ll never know. Your place is here, Not up above. The beauty of the dark and cold. Sarah dear, You mustn’t go. Up there you’ll only walk with ghosts. Stay with me here, Grow never old, Grow never old. You’re safe, you’re home. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] I knew she couldn’t be deterred, But still I pleaded with her. But she wouldn’t hear a word I said, Her heart already up there. The light of death, inside her mind. It drove her ever upward. The words I said, like all of us, Just shadows in the ether. [Chorus 2] Sarah dear, The world above. The light that shines, it is not hope. Your place is here, Not up above. The safety of the dark and cold. Sarah dear, You mustn’t go. Up there you’ll become a ghost. Stay with me here, Grow never old, Grow never old. Don’t go, don’t go. [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] The caverns whispered, "Let her be" As light broke through the stone. Her heart was never meant to stay Where nothing ever grows. I watched her climb, I felt her fade My words echoed alone. The choice was never mine to make The dark was never home. [Chorus 3] Sarah dear, The world above. It shined a light you couldn't know. Your place was here, Not up above. Now all that's left is dark and cold. Sarah dear, You had to go. To take your place among the ghosts. You left me here, Grow never old, Grow never old. You’re safe, you’re home.
