Rose Lyrics - Neighbourhood - Manu Katche

I dream of rain 

I dream of gardens in the desert sand 

I wake in pain 

I dream of love as time runs through my hand 

I dream of fire 

These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire 

And in the flames 

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

This desert rose 

Each of her veils, a secret promise 

This desert flower 

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this 

And as she turns 

This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams 

This fire burns 

I realise that nothing's as it seems 

I dream of rain 

I dream of gardens in the desert sand 

I wake in pain 

I dream of love as time runs through my hand 

I dream of rain 

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 

I dream of gardens in the desert sand 

I wake in pain 

I dream of love as time runs through my hand 

Sweet desert rose 

Each of her veils, a secret promise 

This desert flower 

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this 

Sweet desert rose 

This memory of Eden haunts us all 

This desert flower, this rare perfume 

Is the sweet intoxication of the fall
