[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]Enters the room where the sleeping princess l[G5]ies
[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]After the rain has[Bb/F] fallen[F]
[Eb]After the tea[Db]rs have washed your eyes[Eb]
[F]You'll find that I've taken[Bb/F] nothing that
[Eb]Love can't replace in the blink of an eye[Db]
[Cm7]He was as gentle as the night wind
As no lover had been before
And the rings she wore for her bridegroom
[Eb]Slipped from her finger and fell to the f[G5]loor
[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]After the rain ha[Bb/F]s fallen[F]
[Eb]After the tears [Db]have washed your eyes[Eb]
[F]You'll find that I've taken not[Bb/F]hing that
[Eb]Love can't replace in the blink of an eye[Db]
[F]After the thunder[Bb/F]'s spoken and[F]
[Eb]After the lightnin[Db]g bolt's been hurled[Eb]
[F]After the dream has br[Bb/F]oken, there'll[F]
[Eb]Still be love in the world

[Eb]She said take me to another life
[Eb]Take me for a pirate's wife
[Ab]Take me where the wind blows
[Ab]Take me where the red wine flows
[Db]Take me to the danger
[Db]Take me to the life of crime
[Gb]Take me to the stars
[Gb]Take me to the moon while we still have time
