[00:02.12] The Alchemist
[00:04.08] Written:Gary Barlow/Eliot Kennedy
[00:10.69]
[00:14.25] In the desert where almost nothing grows
[00:18.16] you'll find the most beautiful rose
[00:21.80] takes its name from Jericho
[00:25.19] a miracle of life
[00:29.15] I know a place I can't deny
[00:32.53] where even a Jericho rose would die
[00:36.39] The desert of your heart's where I am trying to survive
[00:43.42]
[00:43.49] Can't control this
[00:47.23] can't let go this
[00:50.91] feeling is all I have
[00:55.43] I know that...
[00:57.56]
[00:58.13] I could build a tower out of steel and stone
[01:04.46] but trying to build a bridge to you
[01:08.55] is something I can't seem to do
[01:12.35] If I could turn this dust to gold
[01:16.01] you'd see it clearly
[01:19.83] Trying to earn your love
[01:22.39] is just like trying to learn the art of alchemy
[01:30.63]
[01:41.81] The measure of a woman's heart
[01:45.21] is just how deep and just how far
[01:48.89] a secret can be kept
[01:51.78] till it is only distant memory
[01:55.83] My emotions fall on stony ground
[01:59.74] I wear them just like hand-me-downs
[02:03.51] because I know the secret is the love
[02:07.89] that you have for me
[02:10.15]
[02:10.66] I can't believe
[02:13.69] can hardly breathe
[02:17.37] without you by my side
[02:22.58] I know that...
[02:25.23] I could build a tower out of steel and stone.
[02:31.73] but trying to build a bridge to you
[02:35.78] is something I can't seem to do
[02:39.41] If I could turn this dust to gold
[02:43.16] you'd see it clearly
[02:47.03] Trying to earn your love
[02:49.38] is just like trying to learn the art of alchemy
[03:08.97] How could life be the same
[03:13.10] if I find I loved in vain
[03:16.25] The dream I have every night
[03:19.78] is to wake with you by my side
[03:31.37]
[03:41.84] I could build a tower out of steel and stone
[03:47.90] but trying to build a bridge to you
[03:51.95] is something I can't seem to do
[03:55.67] If I could turn this dust to gold
[03:59.40] you'd see it clearly
[04:03.26] Trying to earn your love
[04:05.64] is just like trying to learn the art of alchemy
[04:32.54] Trying to earn your love
[04:34.66] is just like trying to learn the art of alchemy
