FEEDBACK to Lilith

(Original music and lyrics "Desert Rose" by Sting)

I dream of rain, el-ai, el-ai;
I dream of gardens in the desert sand;
I dream in vain, el-ai, el-ai,
I dream of him as time runs through my hand.

I dream of fire, el-ai, el-ai,
These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire.
Within the flames el-ai, el-ai,
The shadows flare in the shape of this man's desire.

My wild rose, el-ai, el-ai,
The shadow veils a secret promise;
My forest flower, el-ai, el-ai,
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this.

And now he turns... el-ai, el-ai,
This way he moves -- the lover of all my dreams.
This fire burns, el-ai, el-ai,
I realize that nothing is as it seems...

I dream of rain, el-ai, el-ai;
I dream of gardens in the desert sand;
I wake in pain, el-ai, el-ai,
I dream of him as time runs through my hand.

I dream of rain, el-ai, el-ai,
I lift my gaze to darkened skies above.
I close my eyes to the rare perfume
In the sweet intoxication of my love.

I dream of rain, el-ai, el-ai;
I dream of gardens in the desert sand;
I dream in vain, el-ai, el-ai,
I dream of him as time runs through my hand.

My Saxon thorn, el-ai, el-ai,
This agony of wanting haunts my soul;
My forest flower, my rare perfume,
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall...
