Esmerelda

Esmerelda, sang a song and woke up all the flowers
Lilac sprung beneath her feet and did not count the hours
She was so naive and didn't know her power
Oh Esmerelda
Liquor Pours and men adore
The ladies of the evening
Musky scents and opposition
Can be so deceiving
She danced into the tavern room
And though she didn't have a clue
Poor Esmerelda
City of street lights
And long nights
The cruel sight of waking up
From her dream lie
To real life
Could never know why she drank the cup
Well she couldn't tell ya
Oh Esmerelda
Out of all the casting calls
Yet no one seemed to notice
Except a pair of wine stained lips
That took her out of focus
The harsh reality
Of mediocrity
Esmerelda won't you open up your eyes
Waking up to find
City of street lights
And long nights
The cruel sight of waking up
From her dream lie
To real life
Could never know why you'd drink the cup
Well she couldn't tell ya
Poor Esmerelda
Well she couldn't tell ya
Oh Esmerelda
