You came from no-where like rain in a desert
Like a mirage at my thirsty lips you disappear
Now I'm quenching your love so much that it hurts
And the only rain to fall is a drop of a tear
I'm a desert flower that needs water
Rain on me if you want my love to grow
Like rain in a desert you never stayed
Like sand in my fingertips you slipped away
As I look upon the clouds tonight for solace
My lips the taste of tears ache for your kiss
I'm a desert flower that needs water
Rain on me if you want my love to grow
If there's a doorway to hell it's your eyes I can tell
As the moment I looked straight away I fell
If hell has a monastery you'd be the friar
As you held my body, mind and soul in a baptism of fire
Like rain in a desert I longed for your return
As I wait beneath the sun I begin to burn
As I drown in quicksand my soul brakes free
But my love for you shall never escape me
I'm a desert flower that needs water
Rain on me if you want my love to grow
