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
