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
