Because the Night - Patti Smith Group

Take me now baby here as I am

Hold me close

Try and understand

Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe

Love is a banquet on which we feed

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 life

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt 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 touch you now

Can't touch you now

Can't touch you now

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to life

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 life

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because tonight there are two lovers

If we believe in the night we trust

Because tonight there are two lovers

Because the night belongs to love

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Can't you believe the night belongs to lovers

Can't you believe the night well be shine
