Don't believe I've posted this set of lyrics before.

Alchemy

You can be as pure and cold as water
Intoxicating as the driest red wine
You’re not the image of a dream girl, not how I thought her-
But I intend to make you mine.
You can give me cold shoulder,
You can tell me that I’m dreamin’.
You can ask me to act my age, or a little older,
Or ask me what do I believe in?

I believe in Alchemy
I believe I’ll bring you in from the cold
I believe you’ll start to warm up to me
When I show you how I can turn lead into gold.

You distract me when I’m working
I end up beating plowshares into swords
And you inspire me with a purpose
I turn sour notes into triumphant chords.
You let me transcend my limitations
Make the ephemeral concrete and-
You make me think about creation,
You make me ask myself: What d I believe in?

What do I believe in?

(charged with energy) I believe in Alchemy
I believe I’ll bring you in from the cold
I believe you’ll start to warm up to me
When I show you how I can turn lead into gold.

(slowly, quietly) I believe in Alchemy
I believe I’ll bring you in from the cold
I believe you’ll start to warm up to me
When I show you how I can turn lead into gold.

yes! always cool to hear that from you. ;-)
I think it's absolutely one of the best songs i've written, and i will neither be humble about it nor claim responsibility. It's a song that a band does in a story of mine, and it came tio me in that context. I was channleing more than composing.
