Sting - Desert Roseadd

Am
I dream of rain heleyheley
G
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
F
I wake in pain heleyheley heleyheley
Em                                   Am
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Am
I dream of fire heleyheley
G
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
F
And in the flames heleyheley
Em                                    Am
Her shadows play in the shape of a man’s desire
Am
This desert rose heleyheley
G
Each of her veils, a secret promise
F
This desert flower heleyheley
Em                                       Am
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns heleyheley
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns heleyheley
I realize that nothing’s as it seems

I dream of rain heleyheley
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain heleyheley
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain heleyheley
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 heleyheley
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain heleyheley
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

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

Sweet desert rose heleyheley
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall
