Sarah's Song (Lyric) by wilco
Sarah says she waited for the sun
for as long as the night was dark.
She's been through so much in her life.
Seen a lot of things that no one should,
but she's still beautiful when she smiles.
The graying hair and amethyst eyes
have made her shy away from tears.
She keeps her picture of Cary Grant
and a ring given to her by a lover,
and she's still beautiful when she sings.
There's something on her mind these days.
A little reminder of thirty years.
The white dress, the wine and the dance.
Sarah stays up 'till dawn every night
to see the sun rise on the hills.
She shakes off the early morning chill
and wraps the robe a little tighter,
so she can feel the warmth of life.
The balcony in the old hotel
is high enough to catch the clouds.
She still feels something in her soul
for pretty days and careless flings.
And she's still beautiful when she smiles.
There's something on her mind these days.
A little reminder of thirty years.
The white dress, the wine and the dance.

I'd like it flow a little more - quite a few one line sentences and the many prepositions, articles and pronouns don't help the cause.
Still, some lovely language in there.
