Esmeralda lyrics

I’m blinded, now I see that I,

Could not hold you, my orange tree leaf.

In the darkened room for three of us to share.

Maybe you were free

Before my blackened wound covered you.

I took the same from your song

I made a bet.

We don’t belong.

Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out,

Black sea, I failed to be the light, you found it alone.

Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out,

Black sea, the monster killed the melody you love.

And now I’m going places on my own.

Blinded, now I see the death

Moves amongst us and leaves such easy raft

To surround us, this silent piece, too hard to bare.

Lonely, oh, no, not me,

I have a grave to dig, fast moving feet,

You gave me light, where once was gone.

I made a bet.

We don’t belong.

Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out,

Black sea, I failed to be the light, you found it alone.

Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out,

Black sea, the monster killed the melody you loved.

And now I’m going places on my own.

All alone.
