[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
