Esmeralda (Her Eyes)

She waltzes through the door

Black hair swinging low and eyes wide

She reminds me of 

The woman I’ve aspired to be my whole life

With shoulders pushed back 

She smiles and brings every man to his knees

She picks a lucky one

And asks

Would you like to have this dance with me 

Hey hey, she’s got secrets

Hey hey, I know her kind well

Hey hey, her heart's from heaven but her eyes

Her eyes have seen hell 

 

I look her way 

And those eyes lock with mine and I see it all 

She’s got so much armor 

From years of protecting her genuine soul

And I know that fight

We must have been, battlin' side by side

The woman that I envied 

It turns out she’s just like me 

 

Hey hey, she’s got secrets

Hey hey, I know her kind well

Hey hey, her heart's from heaven but her eyes

Her eyes have seen hell 

 

Ooooo

Hey hey, she’s got secrets

Hey hey, I know her kind well

Hey hey, her heart's from heaven but her eyes

Her eyes have seen hell
