Sarah (Live At The Sydney Opera House) Lyrics by Kate Miller-Heidke, Sydney Symphony Orchestra

Live At The Sydney Opera House

2017

[Verse 1]
1997
Livid Festival
Me and Sarah my best friend
Stripy tights and fairy wings
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
Safe as safe can be
[Chorus]
Oh, Sarah
I didn't mean to let you down
But you left me on my own, Sarah
Why didn't you scream?
[Verse 2]
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 hystеrical
My father wasn't sure
He callеd for the police
[Chorus 2]
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?
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
The next day the sergeant
Found her blue dress in a creek
Her parents were so angry
They put the blame on me
And then a fortnight later
Sarah knocked upon their door
Her mother asked her, "Where've you been?"
And she said, "I don't know"
[Bridge]
"I don't know
I'm not sure
I'm not sure
I can't remember anything at all"
[Chorus 2]
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?
[Outro]
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra, ladies and gentlemen!
And our brilliant maestro, Mister Benjamin Northey everybody
