lyrics

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
