Sarah

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 1997 Livid Festival Me and Sarah my best friend Stripy tights and fairy wings (As safe as safe can be) [Verse 2] We drank the gin we'd snuck in Danced to Ben Folds Five I turned around to Sarah Couldn't see her anywhere (As safe as safe can be) [Chorus] Oh, Sarah I didn't mean to let you down But you left me on my own, Sarah Why didn't you scream? [Verse 3] I went to all the stages And to the St John's stand The man said "You just missed her Stay, maybe she'll come back again" I sat and watched the crowds [Verse 4] My father came at midnight We searched til half past four I was half hysterical My father wasn't sure He called for the police [Chorus 2] Oh, Sarah I didn't mean to let you down But you left me on my own, Sarah Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout, Sarah? I hate it that I let you down But you left me on my own, Sarah Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout? Why didn't you shout? [Verse 5] The next day the sergeant Found her blue dress in a creek Her parents were so angry They put the blame on me [Verse 6] And then a fortnight later Sarah knocked upon their door Her mother asked her, "Where've you been?" And she said, "I don't know [Bridge] I don't know I'm not sure I'm not sure I can't remember anything at all" [Chorus 2] Oh, Sarah I didn't mean to let you down But you left me on my own, Sarah Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout, Sarah? I hate it that I let you down But you left me on my own, Sarah Why didn't you scream? Why didn't you shout?
