Desert Rose (My Songs Version)

I dream of rain, ya lili ah ya leel

I dream of rain, ya lili ah ya leel

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in vain, ya lili ah ya leel

I dream of love as time runs through my head

I dream of fire, ya lili ah ya leel

Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire

And in the flames, ya lili ah ya leel

Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose, ya lili ah ya leel

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower, ya lili ah ya leel

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns, ya lili ah ya leel

This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams

This fire burns, ya lili ah ya leel

I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain, ya lili ah ya leel

I dream of God in silver deserts

And I wake in vain, ya lili ah ya leel

I dream of love as time runs through my head

I dream of rain, ya lili ah ya leel

I lift my gaze to empty skies above

I close my eyes

The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

(Aman aman aman)

I dream of rain, ya lili ah ya leel

I dream of God in silver deserts

And I wake in pain, ya lili ah ya leel

I dream of love as time runs through my head

This desert rose, ya lili ah ya leel

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower

This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of the fall
