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
but trying to build a bridge to you
01:11
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
is just like trying to learn the art of alchemy
01:36
The measure of a woman's heart
01:43
is just how deep and just how far
01:49
a secret can be kept
01:53
till it is only distant memory
01:59
My emotions fall on stony ground
02:06
I wear them just like hand-me-downs
02:11
because I know the secret is the love
02:14
that you have for me
02:20
I can't believe
02:27
can hardly breathe
02:29
without you by my side
02:33
I know that...
02:37
I could build a tower out of steel and stone.
02:40
but trying to build a bridge to you
02:49
is something I can't seem to do
02:53
If I could turn this dust to gold
02:58
you'd see it clearly
03:03
Trying to earn your love
03:07
is just like trying to learn the art of alchemy
03:13
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
but trying to build a bridge to you
03:50
is something I can't seem to do
03:55
If I could turn this dust to gold
04:00
you'd see it clearly
04:05
Trying to earn your love
04:09
is just like trying to learn the art of alchemy
04:14
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
