Cm7
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

Cm7
He climbs up through the darkness
No weapon but his surprise
The greatest thief in the high Sahara
Eb                                           G5
Enters the room where the sleeping princess lies

Cm7
All your money, your pretty necklace
F
This is my work on such a night
Eb
There's a storm coming over the mountain
G5
I'll be gone long before the morning

F                 Bb/F    F
After the rain has fallen
Eb           Db                             Eb
After the tears have washed your eyes
F                          Bb/F
You'll find that I've taken nothing that
Eb                                                         Db
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

Cm7
He was as gentle as the night wind
As no lover had been before
And the rings she wore for her bridegroom
Eb                                       G5
Slipped from her finger and fell to the floor

Cm7
Take me with you, take me with you
F
Before my lonely life is set
Eb
I've been promised to another
G5
To a man I've never even met

F                Bb/F      F
After the rain has fallen
Eb              Db                          Eb
After the tears have washed your eyes
F                              Bb/F
You'll find that I've taken nothing that 
Eb                                                        Db
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye
F                Bb/F          F
After the thunder's spoken and 
Eb                Db                       Eb
After the lightning bolt's been hurled
F                     Bb/F           F
After the dream has broken, there'll
Eb
Still be love in the world
