Lyrics
I would smell the burning wax without celebration
Like a mist across the moors I’d drift through my days
Dulled by rust and wind and rain, I was petrified of change
I thought my life would never shine bright
You walked in, and I began to pick up my lost dreams
Turned my back on my job’s sepia scene
‘Cos with you I see the world, and its technicolour pearls
The sun-lit corners of my life
I know you’re no philosopher’s stone
But loving you will never get old
You say you feel it too in all that you do
And you ask “What’s this magic between you and me?”
I call it Alchemy
Here we are turned to gold, precious and gleaming
Bound by fire, and a mystic power unseen
With our transformation complete
We can treasure every beat of our hearts
These moments we call home
I know you’re no philosopher’s stone
But loving you will never get old
You say you feel it too in all that you do
And you ask “What’s this magic between you and me?”
I call it Alchemy
