Desert Rose

( Cm  Bb  Ab  G )

Cm
 I dream of rain
Bb
 I dream of gardens in the desert sand
Ab
 I wake in pain
G
 I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Cm
 I dream of fire
Bb
 Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
Ab
 And in the flames
G
 Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

Cm
 This desert rose
Bb
 Each of her veils, a secret promise
Ab
 This desert flower
G
 No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Cm
 And as she turns
Bb
 This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
Ab
 This fire burns
G
 I realize that nothing's as it seems

Cm
 I dream of rain
Bb
 I dream of gardens in the desert sand
Ab
 I wake in pain
G
 I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Cm
 I dream of rain
Bb
 I lift my gaze to empty skies above
Ab
 I close my eyes
G
 This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

Cm
 I dream of rain
Bb
 I dream of gardens in the desert sand
Ab
 I wake in pain
G
 I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Cm
 Sweet desert rose
Bb
 Each of her veils, a secret promise
Ab
 This desert flower
G
 No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Cm
 Sweet desert rose
Bb
 This memory of Eden haunts us all
Ab
 This desert flower
G
 This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the love
