Desert Rose

I dream of rain e le y ‘e le
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain e le y ‘e le
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire e le y ‘e le
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames e le y ‘e le
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose e le y ‘e le
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower e le y ‘e le
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns e le y ‘e le
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns e le y ‘e le
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain e le y ‘e le
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain e le y ‘e le
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain e le y ‘e le
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 e le y ‘e le
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain e le y ‘e le
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose e le y ‘e le
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower e le y ‘e le
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose e le y ‘e le
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall
