About Sarah

"Sarah" is the second single by Eskimo Joe, taken from their third studio album Black Fingernails, Red Wine. Kavyen Temperley has indicated that the song was written about a girl who had a mental dysfunction, whose life went downhill, but like "Black Fingernails, Red Wine", the true meaning behind the lyrics remain with Temperley and the band. It was not, as previously reported, written about Temperley's wife, as he was not married at the time he wrote the song. The B-Side includes a cover of the Pixies' tune "Hey", and two versions of the last single, "Black Fingernails, Red Wine", in both an acoustic version (recorded at Triple J the same time as "Hey"), and a live version from the Nine Network's Today.

Sarah 
Won't you tell me your name 
I've been waiting here for hours 
In the garden by the flowers 
You're so shy 
So just open your eyes 
The boys all form a line to be written out in time 
A long, long, long, long time ago 

Emergency 
I think I am falling apart 
Emergency 
I think I am losing the fight 
And I don't know if I can do it 
I don't know if I can try 
I don't know if anyone asked me the reason I lied 
She sighed 

Sarah 
Is she your new best friend 
One day it will end, you know it will 
You're so shy 
So just let it fall apart 
Let it stumble in the dark 
With the razors in your heart 
A long, long, long, long time ago 

Emergency 
I think I am falling apart 
Emergency 
I think I am losing the fight 
And I don't know if I can do it 
I don't know if I can try 
I don't know if anyone asked me the reason I lied 
She sighed 
She sighed 

Emergency 
I think I am falling apart 
Emergency 
I think I am losing the fight 
And I don't know if I can do it 
I don't know if I can try 
I don't know if anyone asked me the reason I lied 
She sighed 
She sighed
