rain#450

"... 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
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 take nothing, that 
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye ..."
