Because The Night Lyrics

[Patti Smith Group cover]

(Intro)

Pull me close, and try and understand

Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe

Love is a banquet on which we feed

Take me now, baby, here as I am

Come on now, try and understand

The way I feel when I'm in your hands

Take my hand, come undercover

They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now.

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt, baby when I'm alone

Love is a ring, the telephone

Love is an angel, disguised as lust

Here in our bed until the morning comes

Come on now, try and understand

The way I feel, under your command

Take my hand as the sun descends

They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now.

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

With love we sleep

With doubt the vicious circle turns and burns

Without you I cannot live

Forgive, the yearning burning

I believe it's time, too real to feel

So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Belongs to us
