After the rain has fallen
The palace guards are all sleepingtheir fires burn into the nightthere's a threat of rain on the dark horizonand all that's left is a quarter moon of light
he climbs up through the darknessno weapon but his surprisethe greatest thief in the high Saharaenters the room where a sleeping princess lies
all your money, your pretty necklacethis is my work on such a nightthere's a storm coming over the mountainsI'll be gone long before the morning
after the rain has fallenafter the tears have washed your eyesyou find that I've take nothing, thatlove can't replace in the blink of an eye
he was as gentle as the night windas no lover had been beforeand the rings she wore for her bride groomslipped from her fingers and fell to the floor
take me with you, take me with youbefore my lonely life is setI've been promised to anotherto a man I've never even met
after the rain has fallenafter the tears have washed your eyesyou'll find that I've take nothing, thatlove can't replace in the blink of an eyeafter the thunder's spoken, andafter the lightning bolt's been hurledafter the dream is broken, there'llstill be love in the world
she said take me to another lifetake me for a pirate's wifetake me where the wind blowstake me where the red wine flowstake me to the dangertake me to the life of crimetake me to the starstake me to the moonwhile we still have time
after the rain has fallenafter the tears have washed your eyesyou'll find that I've taken nothing, thatlove can't replace in the blink of an eye
after the thunder's spoken, andafter the lightning bolt's been hurledafter the dream is broken, there'llstill be love in the worldstill be love in the world
