[Verse 1]
                              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

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                    C
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

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...
