In the desert where almost nothing grows 00:14
you'll find the most beautiful rose 00:18
takes its name from Jericho 00:23
a miracle of life 00:27
I know a place I can't deny 00:31
where even a Jericho rose would die 00:35
The desert of your heart's where I am trying to survive 00:39
Can't control this 00:48
can't let go this 00:50
feeling is all I have 00:54
I know that... 00:58
I could build a tower out of steel and stone 01:02

is something I can't seem to do 01:16
If I could turn this dust to gold 01:21
you'd see it clearly 01:26
Trying to earn your love 01:30

How could life be the same 03:18
if I find I loved in vain 03:22
The dream I have every night 03:27
is to wake with you by my side 03:32
I could build a tower out of steel and stone 03:41

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
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
