Lyrics

[00:01.56] Desert Rose
[00:02.39] Sting
[00:03.63]
[00:54.60] I dream of rain
[00:58.93] I dream of gardens in the desert sand
[01:03.17] I wake in pain
[01:07.41] I dream of love as time runs through my hand
[01:11.76] I dream of fire
[01:16.04] Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
[01:20.48] And in the flames
[01:24.58] Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
[01:28.79] This desert rose
[01:33.10] Each of her veils a secret promise
[01:37.67] This desert flower
[01:40.89] No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
[01:45.11] And as she turns
[01:50.23] This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
[01:54.77] This fire burns
[01:58.72] I realise that nothing's as it seems
[02:03.15] I dream of rain
[02:06.93] I dream of gardens in the desert sand
[02:11.66] I wake in pain
[02:15.25] I dream of love as time runs through my hand
[02:20.26] I dream of rain
[02:24.52] I lift my gaze to empty skies above
[02:28.72] I close my eyes, this rare perfume
[02:32.13] Is the sweet intoxication of her love
[02:39.00]
[03:11.87] I dream of rain
[03:15.49] I dream of gardens in the desert sand
[03:20.22] I wake in pain
[03:24.51] I dream of love as time runs through my hand
[03:28.79] Sweet desert rose
[03:32.67] Each of her veils, a secret promise
[03:37.35] This desert flower
[03:41.20] No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
[03:46.10] Sweet desert rose
[03:50.22] This memory of Eden haunts us all
[03:54.28] This desert flower,this rare perfume
[03:57.58] Is the sweet intoxication of the fall
[04:05.24]
