Patti Smith
Because The Night (Stage Version)
[Verse 1]
Take me now baby
Here as I am
Pull me close
Try and understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
I break my back till the morning comes

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on now
Try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now

[Chorus]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

[Verse 2]
Your love is here
And now the vicious circle turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
[Pre-Chorus]
Forgive me now
The time has come to take this moment
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt us now

[Chorus]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

[Outro]
So because the night
