Sting feat. Cheb Mami – Desert Rose

Desert Rose lyrics

I dream of rain le le hie le

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain le le hie le

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire le le hie le

Those dreams are tied to a horse

That will never tire

And in the flames le le hie le

Her shadows play in the shape

Of a man’s desire

This desert rose le le hie le

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower le hie le

No sweet perfume ever tortured

Me more than this

And as she turns le le hie le

This way she moves

In the logic of all my dreams

This fire burns le le hie le

I realise that nothing’s as it seems

I dream of rain le le hie le

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain le le hie le

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain le le hie le

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 le le hie le

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain le le hie le

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose le le hie le

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower le le hie le

No sweet perfume ever tortured

Me more than this

Sweet desert rose le le hie le

This memory of Eden haunts us all

This desert flower

This rare perfume

Is the sweet intoxication of the fall
