lyrics

Alchemy
Carole Young (c) 2011

You appear to be one thing
But then prove to be another
You seemed wonderful
And then became my lover
Yes things soon took a downward turn
You could be fun/ But are full of frailties and issues
I can't turn you on

I am merely human
Not a super being
No not a super being
Another fragile human
Is what I am seeing

I can't turn you into another
If only I could extrapolate
Your good qualities
Then leave the rest
Alchemy is not one of my strong points

I am merely human
Not a super being
No not a super being
Another fragile human
Is what I am seeing
