Lonely, the life that I once 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 didn't 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 to part Sabra girl, homeward must start Rosey the lines 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 It's hard to believe I could be so naive Sabra girl, flattered but deceived Now you just told me that friendship is all I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall Illusions and dreams, as usual, it seems Sabra girl, they've been my downfall Lonely, the life and dismal the view Closed is the road that leads to you Since better can be, as friends we'll agree Sabra girl, time will cure me
