Santa Esmeralda
*The Green Talisman*
**********************
1-verse:
----------------------
Come to me,
Come feel the power,
Oh, this is the hour,
A time for discovery.
You still
Conjure your potions
With trinkets and fire
From eyes that don't
really see.
Precious,
I'm an emerald unique,
Superstitions
Are surrounding the
mystique
Of the treasures that I
have for you.
Chorus:
I am a green talisman,
I am a green talisman,
The talisman in your
eyes,
A magic man in
disguise,
I am a green talisman,
I am a green talisman.
-------------------
2-verse:
------------------
Listen!
To what I am saying,
See how I'm delaying
The silence between the
waves.
Now you're
Controlling the motion,
Stopping the oceans,
Turning the night to
day.
Careful
Understand what you
seek,
Transformation,
Taking your soul to
the peak
Of the pleasure that
I'll give to you.
Chorus:
I am a green
talisman,
I am a green
talisman,
The talisman in
your eyes,
A magic man in
disguise.
3-verse:
---------------
Touch me,
I'm not an illusion
With a fusion,
The essence of energy.
Oceans, magic spells,
wishing wells,
Never possessed all the
powers that are ours.
If you believe,
I am a green talisman!
Solo Brass.

(Leroy Gomez whisper):
---------------------
Touch me,
I'm not an illusion
With a fusion,
The essence of
energy.
I'm a green
talisman,
The talisman in your
eyes,
A magic man in the
skies.
Beware,
Beware of the power,
Oh, it can devour,
Take away your energy.
Together
We're holding the
reasons,
Changing the seasons
For all of eternity.
Precious,
I'm an emerald
unique,
Superstitions
Are surrounding the
mystique
Of the treasures
that I have for you.
Chorus:
I am a green
talisman,
I am a green

The talisman in
your eyes,
A magic man in

Touch me,
I'm not an illusion
With a fusion,
