Cm
I dream of rain
A#
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
G#
I wake in pain
Fm7                G7sus4
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
These dreams that are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
The shadows play in the shape of a mans desire

D#
This desert rose
Gm7
Each of her veils, a secret promise
A#
This desert flower
G#                    G7sus4
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And now she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothings as it seems

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain
Fm7                     G7sus4
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

D#
I dream of rain
Gm7
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
A#
I close my eyes, the rare perfume
        G#         G7sus4
is the sweet intoxication of her love

Cm
I dream of rain
A#
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
G#
I wake in pain
Fm7                     G7sus4
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Gm7
Each of her veils, a secret promise
A#
This desert flower
     G#                Fm7
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

D#
Sweet desert rose
Gm7
This memory of Eden haunts us all
A#
This desert flower, This rare perfume
        G#         G7sus4
is the sweet intoxication of the fall…
