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...
