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

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
