Ben Howard - Esmerelda Lyrics

Oh blinded, now I see that I could not hold you
My orange tree left in the darkened room
For three of us to share

Oh, 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

Oh, poor me
She fell beneath the wheels to help me up
Black sea, I failed to be the light
You found in love

Oh, poor me
She fell beneath the wheels to help me up
Black sea, the monster killed the melody you loved

And now I'm going places on my own

Blinded, now I see the death moves amongst us
And with such ease the rife does surround us
These silent beasts are hard to bear

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 you don't belong

Poor me
She fell beneath the wheels to help me up
Black sea, I failed to be the light
You found in love

Oh poor me
She fell beneath the wheels to help me up
Black sea, the monster killed the melody you loved

And now I'm going places on my own

On my own
