Lyrics

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
