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
