Sarah

1997, Livid Festival Me and Sarah my best friend Stripy tights and fairy wings As safe as safe can be 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 Oh Sarah, I didn't mean to let you down But you left me on my own, Sarah Why didn't you scream? 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 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 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? The next day the sergeant Found her blue dress in the creek Her parents were so angry They put the blame on me Then a fortnight later Sarah knocked upon their door Her mother asked her "Where've you been?" And she said "I don't know, I don't know, I'm not sure. I'm not sure, I can't remember anything at all." 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?
