Kirsty McGee - Alchemy lyrics

I brought back more that you will ever know Stare deep into the blue you'll see the shapes that move below I never learned a lesson that i didn't learn by heart And when one lesson ends i find, another lesson starts And something moved me in the shadows on his skin In a place where half-remembered clouds lie down upon the sea Shiplight and starlight as the colours disappear Where he paints from photographs, under a pale blue bulb From the beginning he held me like a child No jealousy or envy, he lets my heart run wild He paints from photographs of sun and sea and sky And softly he can play And something in him haunts me The water sighs sometimes when a wave hits solid ground You can hear the stones sometimes, singing in the sea There's a sea-change in me - it's in him too And though we lost something beautiful We make ourselves anew I brought back more than you will ever know Stare deep into my eyes: all the sadnesses and things i've seen It comes like alchemy, makes gold-dust of our hearts And when one lesson ends i find, another lesson starts
