The Alchemist
Lara Fabian · Other Songs - Lara Fabian
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
