From the album Brand New Day
Words and music by Sting

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

I dream of fire eley eleey
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames eley eleey
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

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

And now she turns eley eleey
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns eley eleey
I realize that nothing's as it seems

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

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

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

Sweet desert rose eley eleey
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfurme
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall
