My lover's gone His boots no longer by my door He left at dawn And as I slept I felt him go returns no more
I will not watch the ocean My lover's gone No earthly ships will ever bring him home again Bring him home again
My lover's gone I know that kiss will be my last No more his song The tune upon his lips has passed I sing alone
While I watch the ocean My lover's gone No earthly ships will ever bring him home again Bring him home again
I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain 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 Sweet desert rose This memory of Eden haunts us all This desert flower, this rare perfume
