Esmerelda

Ben Howard

Oh Blinding, now I see
I could not hold you
My orange tree lived in the darkened room
From three words to share

Maybe you were free before
My blackened wing covered you
I took the sing from your song
I made a bed where you don't belong

Call me she fell beneath the
Wheels to help me up
Black sea, I failed to be a light
You found alone

Call me hold me she fell
Beneath the wheels to help me up
Black Sea, the monster
Killed the melody of love

And now I'm going places on my own

Blinded, now I see the death
Moves amongst us and
With such ease surround us
These silent beasts so hard to bare

Lonely, oh no not me
I have a grave to dig fast
Moving feet you gave me
Light where it once was gone
I made a bed, where we don't belong

Call me she fell beneath the
Wheels to help me up
Black sea, I failed to be a light
You found alone

Call me hold me she fell
Beneath the wheels to help me up
Black Sea, the monster
Killed the melody of love

And now I'm going places on my own
