The Alchemist |
|
Written:Gary Barlow/Eliot Kennedy |
|
In the desert where almost nothing grows |
|
you'll find the most beautiful rose |
|
takes its name from Jericho |
|
a miracle of life |
|
I know a place I can't deny |
|
where even a Jericho rose would die |
|
The desert of your heart's where I am trying to survive |
|
Can't control this |
|
can't let go this |
|
feeling is all I have |
|
I know that... |
|
I could build a tower out of steel and stone |
|
but trying to build a bridge to you |
|
is something I can't seem to do |
|
If I could turn this dust to gold |
|
you'd see it clearly |
|
Trying to earn your love |
|
is just like trying to learn the art of alchemy |
|
The measure of a woman's heart |
|
is just how deep and just how far |
|
a secret can be kept |
|
till it is only distant memory |
|
My emotions fall on stony ground |
|
I wear them just like hand-me-downs |
|
because I know the secret is the love |
|
that you have for me |
|
I can't believe |
|
can hardly breathe |
|
without you by my side |
|
I know that... |
|
I could build a tower out of steel and stone. |
|
but trying to build a bridge to you |
|
is something I can't seem to do |
|
If I could turn this dust to gold |
|
you'd see it clearly |
|
Trying to earn your love |
|
is just like trying to learn the art of alchemy |
|
How could life be the same |
|
if I find I loved in vain |
|
The dream I have every night |
|
is to wake with you by my side |
|
I could build a tower out of steel and stone |
|
but trying to build a bridge to you |
|
is something I can't seem to do |
|
If I could turn this dust to gold |
|
you'd see it clearly |
|
Trying to earn your love |
|
is just like trying to learn the art of alchemy |
|
Trying to earn your love |
|
is just like trying to learn the art of alchemy |
