Sabra Girl

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
