Heavy Hands

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
