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
These 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 realize 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 her love
