lyrics

The Alchemist
(music&lyrics: Dan Byron)



Though my dreams are made
From my daily affairs,
I knew you before
We’ve ever met.
I threw a glance at you,
Then you vanished in the air
But you’re running, running in my head...

It’s been a long time now
Since I had that dream
And here you are,
Smiling at me...
I wonder if you’re a song
Or maybe just a theme
Running, running in my head...

I find it hard to carry this burden on my shoulders -
Self-created it celebrates its role.
Don’t like the grin on its face, it makes me feel colder
No control, there is no goal at all

I turned you into sound
But you didn’t get it yet
Trapped on tape
Lost on a shelf
Maybe we’ll meet again
In case I don’t forget
You were running, running in my head

Wonder where’s the lighter
Got a fancy cigar,
Almost done here
With this tune so far...
Wonder if you’re conscious
You’re nothing but a song,
You once were a person,
But you grew up wrong.
