The Alchemist

Lara Fabian · Other Songs - Lara Fabian

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



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 love 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
