I dream of rain 

Bb

I dream of gardens in the desert sand 

Ab

I wake in pain 

Fm7                G7sus4

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 



Eb

This desert rose 

Gm7        

Each of her veils, a secret promise 

Bb

This desert flower 

        Fm7/Ab            G7sus4

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 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
