[Verse 1]
G
I dream of rain eh-lay-ee-lay
F
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
Dm
I wake in pain eh-lay-ee-lay
E
I dream of love as time runs through
Am
my hand
G
I dream of fire eh-lay-ee-lay

These dreams are tied to a horse that

F
will never tire
G
And in the flames eh-lay-ee-lay

Her shadows play in the shape of a

C
man's desire

[Chorus]
Em7
This desert rose eh-lay-ee-lay
G
Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower eh-lay-ee-lay

F E
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more
Am
than this

[Verse 2]
G
And as she turns eh-lay-ee-lay

This way she moves in the logic of all

F
my dreams
Dm
This fire burns eh-lay-ee-lay
Am
I realise that nothing's as it seems
G
I dream of rain eh-lay-ee-lay
F
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
Dm
I wake in pain eh-lay-ee-lay
E7
I dream of love as time runs through
C
my hand
Em7
I dream of rain eh-lay-ee-lay
G
I lift my gaze to empty skies above

I close my eyes the rare perfume

F E Am
is the sweet intoxication of her love

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
G
I dream of rain eh-lay-ee-lay
F
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
Dm
I wake in pain eh-lay-ee-lay
E
I dream of love as time runs through
C
my hand

[Chorus]
Em7
Sweet desert rose eh-lay-ee-lay
G
Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower

F
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more
C
than this

[Outro]
Em7
Sweet desert rose eh-lay-ee-lay
G
This memory of Eden haunts us all

This desert flower, this rare perfume

F E
is the sweet intoxication of the
Am
fall...
