                              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                    Am
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

                              G
I dream of fire eh-lay-ee-lay

                                                 F 
These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire

                                 G
And in the flames eh-lay-ee-lay

                                           C
Her shadows play in the shape of a 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                     Am
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
[Verse 2]
                                G
And as she turns eh-lay-ee-lay

                                          F  
This way she moves in the logic of all 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                   C
I dream of love as time runs through 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] | Am | Am | Am | Am | x2 | E7 | E7 | E7 | E7 | x2 [Verse 3]

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

                              Dm
I wake in pain eh-lay-ee-lay

                   E                    C
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
[Chorus]
                                Em7
Sweet desert rose eh-lay-ee-lay

                                    G
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
   F                                        C
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more 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               Am
is the sweet intoxication of the fall...
