Making lead out of gold,
the only alchemy I know
But ever since you floated in
you got right under my skin
leaving fingerprints sparkling on my soul
See me standing like a stone,
don’t leave me alone but don’t you
let these heavy hands break you’re
butterfly wings when you’re flying
so close to me
And you’re a blaze of colour
when I’m blind to everything
Take me dancing on the city breeze
Climbing ladders in the rain,
I just keep slipping back off again
But you’re a little ray of hope and
I’ll hold on to the rope just as long
as you keep calling out my name
I’m on my way up to the top,
don’t let me drop but don’t you
let these heavy hands break your
butterfly wings when you’re flying so
close to me
And you’re a blaze of colour
when I’m blind to everything
Take me dancing on the city breeze
