Song lyrics
I dream of rain ye....yeyi yele... 
I dream of gardens in the desert sand 
I wake in pain ye....yeyi yele... 
I dream of love as time runs through my hand ye....yeyi yele... 

I dream of fire ye....yeyi yele... 
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire 
And in the flames ye....yeyi yele... 
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire ye....yeyi yele... 

This desert rose ye....yeyi yele... 
Each of her veils, a secret promise 
This desert flower ye....yeyi yele... 
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this 

And as she turns ye....yeyi yele... 
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams 
This fire burns ye....yeyi yele... 
I realize that nothing's as it seems 

I dream of rain ye....yeyi yele... 
I dream of gardens in the desert sand 
I wake in pain ye....yeyi yele... 
I dream of love as time runs through my hand 

I dream of rain ye....yeyi yele... 
I lift my gaze to empty skies above 
I close my eyes 
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love oh..... 

oh monono......hmmm.... 

I dream of rain ye....yeyi yele... 
I dream of gardens in the desert sand 
I wake in pain ye....yeyi yele... 
I dream of love as time runs through my hand 

Sweet desert rose ye....yeyi yele... 
Each of her veils, a secret promise 
This desert flower ye....yeyi yele... 
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this 

Sweet desert rose ye....yeyi yele... 
This memory of Eden haunts us all 
This desert flower 
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall 

oh mono....mono.....hmmm......

Sting rocks. And this is deffinitely one of his coolest songs, in fact i think i may have bought the album especially for Desert Rose, though Brand New day is really good. The video is good too. Was featured in a Jaguar S-type advert.

Great song by Sting. It's good to hear something a little different like Desert Rose once in a while.

It's amazing how one doesn't realize the religion on the lyrics unless you are actually looking for them..... or maybe they were right there in the begining and im just dense lol. Anyway, beautiful song.
