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 mountain   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 take 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 take 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
