Dm
I dream of rain
Am7 Dm
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
Am7 Dm
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Dm
I dream of fire
Am7
These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
Dm
And in the flames
Am7 Dm
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
F
This desert rose
Am7
Each of her veil's a secret promise
Csus2
This desert flower
Bb A5
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
Dm
And as she turns
Am7 Dm
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
Dm
This fire burns
Am
I realize that nothing's as it seems
Dm
I dream of rain
Csus2
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
Bb
I wake in pain
G5 A5
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
F
I dream of rain
Am
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
Csus2
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
Bb A5
Is the sweet intoxication of her love
