"Esmeralda"
written by Shawn Manley 

Esmeralda
In the garden picking dahlias for your hair
A desperado
Looking for a girl so fair

A silhouette on painted skies
Bright light shines from your amulet
Te quiero más que palabras (I love you more than words)
Esmeralda

Esmeralda
Your eyes speak no words
but say so much to me
Of shattered splendors
Of days spent by the Mexican Sea

The sweet nectar from your lips 
Black silk hair and emerald eyes
Oh, how I long to be back in your arms
Esmeralda

After days of exile
The buzzards circling overhead
Te quiero más que palabras
Esmeralda

Esmeralda

This is an instrumental track played on one guitar with a delay effect.  The title itself seems to have negative connotations, but I imagine the discoveries of oblivion and exploration of an unknown or forgotten landscape.  Ancient ruins, space exploration, your mind's eye panning through an under sea abyss.  Just close your eyes and see what you imagine.
