Desert Rose

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the 
Desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs 
Through my hand



I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse 
That will never tire
And in the flames 
Her shadows play in the shape 
Of a man's desire



This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured 
Me more than this



And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic 
Of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realise that nothing's as it seems



I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs 
Through my hand



I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of her love



I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs 
Through my hand



Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured 
Me more than this



Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall
