NICKEL CREEK LYRICS - Sabra Girl

"Sabra Girl"



lonely the life, that once, i led

strange the paths, on which, we tread

led me to you, unlikely but true

sabra girl, clouding my view



rainy the day, the first time we met

deep was the talk, forever my debt

it didnt seem wrong, to sing a sad song

sabra girl, soon you'd be gone



early the morning, and sad the goodbye

with a wave of your hand and, a smile of your eye

so lately did meet, no sooner depart

sabra girl, homeward must start



rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand

reading between them to misunderstand

i made the mistake you said not to make...



yes reading your letters conviction did grow

i thought it a chance, i knew i must go

its hard to believe i could be so naive

sabra girl, flattered but deceived



now you just told me that friendship is all

im forced to repair the breach in my wall

illusions and dream as usual it seems

sabra girl, they have been my downfall



lonely the life, and dismal the view

closed is the road, that leads to you

since better cant be, as friends we'll agree

sabra girl, time will cure me
