the alchemist

i recently tumbled across a song from my sister's ipod which had a line that went something about only a broken heart can write a good love song.. not sure if this song was from the carpenters or the corrs *shrug*.. but i think it's true.. nt just for songs.. bt for story's as well..

i stumbled upon another song today on the bus.. and it's been on repeat ever since.. because a story hit me smack in the face.. i'm gonna start typing out the script now.. and see if it is as beautiful as it first seemed or maybe i've just got one heck of a biased opinion hur... again i can't seem to base my stories in singapore which is a problem lol.. this one's kinda set in italy, nt sure which time period but when ppl were still using horse pulled carriages as a mode of transport.. i'd like to think of it as "The Illusionist" and "Moulin Rouge" combined.. hurhur...(again just my personal very biased opinion...) i've already got a title :) which is pretty rare for most of my ideas..
"Desert Rose" hurhur.. *a work in progress*

here's the beautiful song *nod*




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….
