Sara Lyrics » Fleetwood Mac
[Intro]
Wait a minute baby…
Stay with me awhile
Said you’d give me light
But you never told me ’bout the fire
[Verse 1]
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it’s gone
It doesn’t matter what for
When you build your house
Then call me home
[Bridge]
And he was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match
He was singing
And undoing, and undoing
Ooh the laces
Undoing the laces
[Verse 2]
Said Sara, you’re the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
But now it’s gone
It doesn’t matter what for
But when you build your house
Oh then call me home

About Fleetwood Mac’s Sara from Tusk (1979)
“Sara” was the second single released from
Tusk
. It was a top 20 hit in five countries including the US where it
peaked at #7
in February 1980.
The song
was written about
several different tragedies in Stevie Nick’s life around the time Fleetwood Mac was recording the
Tusk
album. It covers her secret affair with Mick Fleetwood who was married at the time. Mick would then leave Stevie for her best friend Sara Recor (whom he later married). It also has to do with her unplanned pregnancy with Eagles singer Don Henley -a pregnancy that she terminated. In 2014, Stevie was quoted saying:
Had I married Don and had that baby, and had she been a girl, I would have named her Sara. But there was another woman in my life named Sara, who shortly after that became Mick’s wife, Sara Fleetwood.

What did Fleetwood Mac say about “Sara”?
Lindsey Buckingham shared in the
liner notes
:
Some of Stevie’s songs were hard to rein in. If you’re very lyric driven and not overly worried about time and structure, if it’s more freeform, which a lot of Stevie’s things can be, six or more minutes is not hard to get to. The nine-minute version of this was something we cut but probably never intended it to go out at that length. I wasn’t delving into Stevie’s private life at the time, so I was never told what it was actually about. I always assumed it was addressed to her friend, who was Mick’s wife at the time.
Stevie Nicks added:
It was a 16-minute demo. My friend Sara was there when I wrote it. She kept the coffee going and kept the cassettes coming and made sure we didn’t run out of batteries, and it was a long, long night recording that demo. She was a great songwriter helper. Sara was the poet in my heart. She likes to think it was all written about her, but it really wasn’t. She’s in there, for sure, but it’s written about a lot of other things, too. Mick was the ‘great dark wing within the wings of a storm,’ but when I was going with Mick I was hanging out with J.D. Souther and he kept saying, ‘You do know this relationship with Mick is never going to work, don’t you?’ And I said, ‘Well, when I get out of it, I’ll let you know.‘ And so there’s bits and pieces of him there talking to me.
What has the media said about the song?
Rolling Stone
named it the #10 greatest Fleetwood Mac song, saying:
Released in December 1979, this somber, elegant ballad was Fleetwood Mac’s first hit of the Eighties. Don Henley of the Eagles claimed the song was named for a baby Nicks was pregnant
with and decided not to have during their brief late-Seventies affair. Thirty-five years later, she confirmed that he was partially correct. ‘Had
I married Don and had that baby, and had she been a girl, I would have named her Sara,’ she said in 2014. ‘But there was another woman in my life named Sara, who shortly after that became Mick’s wife, Sara Fleetwood.’
