Patti Smith
Because the Night
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire's 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 when I'm 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 us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Have I a 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 us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
It belongs to us
With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle turns and turns
The yearning burning
And I believe it's time to really feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now

Oh, because the night
Because the night
Because the night
Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
