After the Rain Has Fallen

The palace guards they 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 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 has broken, there'll Still be love in the world, still be love in the world (still be love, still be love) Still be love in the world (after the rain has fallen) Still be love in the world (after the tears have washed your eyes) Still be love in the world (you'll find that I've taken nothing, that) Love can't replace in the blink of an eye Still be love in the world (after the thunder's spoken, and) Still be love in the world (after the lightning bolt's been hurled) Still be love in the world (after the dream has broken, there'll) Still be love in the world
