Words and music by sting<br><br>I dream of rain<br>I dream of gardens in the desert sand<br>I wake in vain<br>I dream of love as time runs through my hand<br><br>I dream of fire<br>Those dreams that tie two hearts that will never die<br>And near the flames<br>The shadows play in the shape of the man's desire<br><br>This desert rose<br>Whose shadow bears the secret promise<br>This desert flower<br>No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this<br><br>And now she turns<br>This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams<br>This fire burns<br>I realize that nothing's as it seems<br><br>I dream of rain<br>I dream of gardens in the desert sand<br>I wake in vain<br>I dream of love as time runs through my hand<br><br>I dream of rain<br>I lift my gaze to empty skies above<br>I close my eyes<br>The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love<br><br>I dream of rain<br>I dream of gardens in the desert sand<br>I wake in vain<br>I dream of love as time runs through my hand<br><br>Sweet desert rose<br>Whose shadow bears the secret promise<br>This desert flower<br>No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this<br><br>Sweet desert rose<br>This memory of hidden hearts and souls<br>This desert flower<br>This rare perfurme is the sweet intoxication of love
