Sting - Desert Rose

It's been a long time since I last saw you

I dream of rain.

I dream of God who's in the desert.

I wake in pain.

I dream of love as time runs through my head.

Tied to a horse that will never die In the flames, lay, lay Shadows play the shape of a man's desire As death abhors, lay, lay The shadow veils a secret promise As death will fly, lay, lay No sweet fear will ever torture you more

This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams.

This fire burns.

I realize that nothing's as it seems.

I dream of raining.

Mountains in the desert sin.

I wake in vain.

I dream of love as time runs through my head.

I dream of rain.

I lift my gaze to empty skies above.

I close my eyes to the rare perfume in the sweet intoxication.

is is

All this desert fire, this ramblin' room Is the sweet intoxication of the forest

you
