Lyrics
ESMERELDA Intro: A7 +13 D9 A7+13 D9 2 # 2# 2# 2# A7+13 D9 Like a swan in the evening she glides through the faire A7 D9 The lilac winds of summer blow her hair Dm9 G And none mark her coming save me here in my tower A7 D Entranced by the vision of this flower A7+13 D9 Long ago and far away a song once was sung A7+13 D9 A different time, a different place when I once was young Dm9 G The bells now are ringing a new and different tune A7 D As Esmerelda dances with the moon Am+9 Em Emr5 Em6 An angel that, sadly, I know I'll never know Am+9 Em Emr5 Em6 My heart pounding madly, I watch her far below A7+13 D9 Hello, my old friend darkness, it's me here again A7+13 D9 I've come to talk it over as I face the end Dm9 G And I will ask the gargoyles as we sit so mournfully A7 D Why was I not made of stone like thee?
