A#m7
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

A#m7
He climbs up through the darkness
No weapon but his surprise
The greatest thief in the high Sahara
C#                          Fm
Enters the room where the sleeping princess lies

A#m7
All your money, your pretty necklace
D#
This is my work on such a night
C#
There's a storm coming over the mountain
Fm
I'll be gone long before the morning

Chorus:
D#         G#       Fm
After the rain has fallen
C#         B          A#m
After the tears have washed your eyes
D#                     G#    Fm
You'll find that I've taken nothing that
C#                                    B  A#m
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

He was gentle as the night wind
As no lover'd 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"

Chorus:
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

C#
She said take me to another life
Take me for a pirate's wife
F#
Take me where the wind blows
Take me where the red wine flows
 Bm
Take me to the danger
Take me to the life of crime
E
Take me to the stars
Take me to the moon while we still have time

Chorus:
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 - x2
