The Alchemist

歌詞

(Lyrics and music by Gary Barlow and 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.... 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....
