[Verse 1]
Bm D A Em
Lonely the life that once I led.
Bm D A
Strange the paths on which we tred
D G A
Led me to you, unlikely but true.
Em A Bm A
Sabra girl, clouding my view.
[Verse 2]
Bm D A Em
Rainy the day the first time we met.
Bm D A
Deep was the talk and forever my debt.
D G A
It didn't seem wrong to sing a sad song.
Em A Bm A
Sabra girl, soon you'd be gone.
[Verse 3]
Bm D A Em
Early the morning and sad the goodbye.
Bm D A
With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye.
D G A
So lately did meet, no sooner to part.
Em A Bm A
Sabra girl, homeward must start.
[Verse 4]
Bm D A Em
Rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand.
Bm D A
Reading between them to misunderstand,
D G A
I made the mistake you said not to make.
Em A
[Verse 5]
Bm D A Em
Reading your letters conviction did grow.
Bm D A
I thought it a chance and I knew I must go.
D G A
It's hard to believe I could be so naive.
Em A Bm A
Sabra girl, flattered but deceived.
[Verse 6]
Bm D A Em
Now you just told me that a friendship is all.
Bm D A
I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall.
D G A
Illusions and dreams as usual it seems.
Em A Bm A
Sabra girl, they have been my downfall.
[Verse 7]
Bm D A Em
Lonely the life and dismal the view.
Bm D A
Closed is the road that leads to you.
D G A
Since better can't be as friends we'll agree.
Em A Bm A
Sabra girl, time will cure me.
