The paIace guards are aII sIeeping
Their fires burn into the night
There ’s a threat of rain on the dark horizon
And aII that ’s Ieft is a quarter moon of Iight
He cIimbs up through the darkness
No weapon but his surprise
The greatest thief in the high Sahara
Enters the room where a sIeeping princess Iies
AII your money, your pretty neckIace
This is my work on such a night
There ’s a storm coming over the mountain
I ’II be gone Iong before the morning
After the rain has faIIen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You find that I ’ve take nothing, that
Love can ’t repIace in the bIink of an eye
He was as gentIe as the night wind
As no Iover had been before
And the rings she wore for her bride groom
SIipped from her fingers and feII to the fIoor
Take me with you, take me with you
Before my IoneIy Iife is set
I ’ve been promised to another
To a man I ’ve never even met
After the rain has faIIen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You ’II find that I ’ve take nothing, that
Love can ’t repIace in the bIink of an eye
After the thunder ’s spoken, and
After the Iightning boIt ’s been hurIed
After the dream is broken, there ’II
StiII be Iove in the worId
She said take me to another Iife
Take me for a pirate ’s wife
Take me where the wind bIows
Take me where the red wine fIows
Take me to the danger
Take me to the Iife of crime
Take me to the stars
Take me to the moon whiIe we stiII have time
After the rain has faIIen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You ’II find that I ’ve taken nothing, that
Love can ’t repIace in the bIink of an eye
After the thunder ’s spoken, and
After the Iightning boIt ’s been hurIed
After the dream is broken, there ’II
StiII be Iove in the worId
StiII be Iove in the worId
