Esmeralda

Esmeralda,
All the knights have dropped their colors
in the mud
The white horses have been stained
by your blood
All the good guys on the screen
are cashing in their dreams
And the ark no longer stands
against the flood

Esmeralda,
The stories that you heard
they just weren't true
And the ships have set their sails
into the blue
And if I'd asked to take your rope
I might have shown you how to hope
But I guess I never knew
what to do..

I would have fired my silver bullet
I would have stood out in the rain
I would have done all that it took
to take away your pain
I would have cut out my broken heart
I would have cried all that I never could
I would have fallen on these trembling knees
I would, I would, I would...

Esmeralda,
No words of remembrance
on this stone
Just a broken man out
on this street alone
And there's plastic on the wind
An empty bag that's full of sin
And I don't think
I'll begin to ever make it home
