Intro: C#m ? B please listen to the song to get the timing

C#5
I dream of rain
B5
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
A5
I wake in pain
F#5                  Ab5
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

C#m ( repeat 1st stanza chords )
I dream of fire
These dreams that are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
The shadows play in the shape of a mans desire

E5
This desert rose
Ab5
Each of her veils, a secret promise
B5
This desert flower
F#5                  Ab5
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Bridge: C#5 ? Ab5

C#5 ? B5 ? A5 ? F#5 ? Ab5
And now she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothings as it seems

C#5
I dream of rain
B5
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
A5
I wake in pain
F#5                  Ab5
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

E5
I dream of rain
Ab5
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
B5
I close my eyes
F#5                  Ab5
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

C#m (Solo sect.)
