After The Rain Has Fallen

The palace guards are all sleepin'

Their fires burn into the night

There's a threat of rain on the dark horizon

And all that's left is a quarter full 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 sleepin' princess lied

All your money, your pretty necklace

This is my work on such a night

There's a storm comin' over the mountains

I'll be gone long before the mornin'

After the rain has fallen

After the tears have washed your eyes

You'll find that I've taken nothin' that

Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

He was gentle as the night wind

As no lover been before

And the rings she wore for her bridegroom

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 nothin' that

Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

And after the thunder's spoken and

After the lightnin' bolt's been hurled

After the dream is broken

There will 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 nothin' that

Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

After the thunder's spoken and

After the lightnin' bolt's been hurled

After the dream is broken

There'll still be love in the world

There'll still be love in the world (Still be love, still be love)

There'll still be love in the world

There'll still be love in the world

Still be love in the world

Love can replace in the blink of an eye

Still be love in the world

Still be love in the world

There'll still be love in the world

Still be love in the world
