Sting - After The Rain Has Fallen Lyrics
Words by stingThe palace guards are all sleepingTheir fires burn into the nightTheres a threat of rain on the dark horizonAnd all thats left is a quarter moon of lightHe climbs up through the darknessNo weapon but his surpriseThe greatest thief in the high saharaEnters the room where a sleeping princess liesAll your money, your pretty necklaceThis is my work on such a nightTheres a storm coming over the mountainIll be gone long before the morningAfter the rain has fallenAfter the tears have washed your eyesYou find that Ive take nothing, thatLove cant replace in the blink of an eyeHe was as gentle as the night windAs no lover had been beforeAnd the rings she wore for her bride groomSlipped from her fingers and fell to the floorTake me with you, take me with youBefore my lonely life is setIve been promised to anotherTo a man Ive never even metAfter the rain has fallenAfter the tears have washed your eyesYoull find that Ive take nothing, thatLove cant replace in the blink of an eyeAfter the thunders spoken, andAfter the lightning bolts been hurledAfter the dream is broken, therellStill be love in the worldShe said take me to another lifeTake me for a pirates wifeTake me where the wind blowsTake me where the red wine flowsTake me to the dangerTake me to the life of crimeTake me to the starsTake me to the moon while we still have timeAfter the rain has fallenAfter the tears have washed your eyesYoull find that Ive taken nothing, thatLove cant replace in the blink of an eyeAfter the thunders spoken, andAfter the lightning bolts been hurledAfter the dream is broken, therellStill be love in the worldStill be love in the world
