It was in a sad hotel
On the back street of a broken dream
Where you saved me from myself
And you satisfied my grevious need
You came upon me like a flamme
It burns inside me ever since that day
But all you left me was your name
And this longing that will not go away

Chorus
Oh, Esmeralda
Oh, girl, I'd give you everything I have
If you will ease my blue condition

Standing on the near side of the dawn
All my so-called friends have faded away
And I'm wondering where you have gone
And I'm hoping that you did not lie to me

Chorus

Bridge
Can you hear me calling?
Oh, I'm calling
Can you hear me calling?
I'm calling for your love
