| 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 |
