AFTER
THE RAIN HAS FALLEN
(Sting)
The
palace guards are all sleeping
Their
fires burns into the night
There's
a threat of rain on the dark horizon
And
all that's left is a quartet 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 taken nothing, that
Love
can't replace in the blink of an eye.
He
was a gentle as the night wind
As
no lover has 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 is fallen...
After
the thunder's spoken, and
After
the lighting bolt's been hurled
After
the dream has 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 thunder's spoken, and... |
