After The Rain Has Fallen

The palace guards are all sleeping 
Their fires burn into the night 
There's a threat of rain on the dark horizon 
And all that's left is a quarter moon of light 

He climbs up through the darkness 
No weapon but his surprise 
The greatest thief in the high Sahara 
Enters the room where a sleeping princess lies 

All your money, your pretty necklace 
This is my work on such a night 
There's a storm coming over the mountains 
I'll be gone long before the morning 

After the rain has fallen 
After the tears have washed your eyes 
You find that I've taken nothing, that 
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye 

He was as gentle as the night wind 
As no lover had been before 
And the rings she wore for her bride groom 
Slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor 

Take me with you, take me with you 
Before my lonely life is set 
I've been promised to another 
To a man I've never even met 

After the rain has fallen 
After the tears have washed your eyes 
You'll find that I've taken nothing, that 
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye 
After the thunder's spoken, and 
After the lightning bolt's been hurled 
After the dream is broken, there'll 
Still be love in the world 

She said take me to another life 
Take me for a pirate's wife 
Take me where the wind blows 
Take me where the red wine flows 
Take me to the danger 
Take me to the life of crime 
Take me to the stars 
Take me to the moon while we still have time 

After the rain has fallen 
After the tears have washed your eyes 
You'll find that I've taken nothing, that 
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye 

After the thunder's spoken, and 
After the lightning bolt's been hurled 
After the dream is broken, there'll 
Still be love in the world 
Still be love in the world
