(Lyrics and music by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy)
|
|
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¡¦.
|
|
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¡¦.
