Desert Rose (radio edit)

Hadaee mada tawila
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti

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

I dream of fire
those 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 realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
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

Aman aman aman
omry feek antia
ma ghair antia
ma ghair antia

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
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
