STING - After The Rain Has Fallen lyrics

rate me

Words by sting<br><br>The palace guards are all sleeping<br>Their fires burn into the night<br>There's a threat of rain on the dark horizon<br>And all that's left is a quarter moon of light<br><br>He climbs up through the darkness<br>No weapon but his surprise<br>The greatest thief in the high sahara<br>Enters the room where a sleeping princess lies<br><br>All your money, your pretty necklace<br>This is my work on such a night<br>There's a storm coming over the mountain<br>I'll be gone long before the morning<br><br>After the rain has fallen<br>After the tears have washed your eyes<br>You find that I've take nothing, that<br>Love can't replace in the blink of an eye<br><br>He was as gentle as the night wind<br>As no lover had been before<br>And the rings she wore for her bride groom<br>Slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor<br><br>Take me with you, take me with you<br>Before my lonely life is set<br>I've been promised to another<br>To a man I've never even met<br><br>After the rain has fallen<br>After the tears have washed your eyes<br>You'll find that I've take nothing, that<br>Love can't replace in the blink of an eye<br>After the thunder's spoken, and<br>After the lightning bolt's been hurled<br>After the dream is broken, there'll<br>Still be love in the world<br><br>She said take me to another life<br>Take me for a pirate's wife<br>Take me where the wind blows<br>Take me where the red wine flows<br>Take me to the danger<br>Take me to the life of crime<br>Take me to the stars<br>Take me to the moon while we still have time<br><br>After the rain has fallen<br>After the tears have washed your eyes<br>You'll find that I've taken nothing, that<br>Love can't replace in the blink of an eye<br><br>After the thunder's spoken, and<br>After the lightning bolt's been hurled<br>After the dream is broken, there'll<br>Still be love in the world<br>Still be love in the world
