Tom: B5

Intro: B5      x12

       B5      A5       G5       E5      F#5

B5
I dream of rain, eleyele
A5
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
G5
I wake in pain, eleyele
E5                 F#5                   B5
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire, eleyele
A5                          G5               F#5    B5
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire

And in the flames, eleyele
A5                       G5          F#5                
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire


D5
This desert rose, eleyele
F#5                  
Each of her veils, a secret promise
A5
This desert flower, eleyele
   G5                  E5          F#5
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this


B5
And as she turns, eleyele
A5                         
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
B5
This fire burns, eleyele
               A5              
I realise that nothing's as it seems
B5
I dream of rain, eleyele
A5
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
G5
I wake in pain, eleyele
E5                 F#5                   
I dream of love as time runs through my hand


D5
I dream of rain
F#5
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
A5
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
       G5              E5            F#5        
Is the sweet intoxi - cation of her love
