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
