Because The Night

Patti Smith Group
The Best 70’s Rock Album in the World… Ever!

Take me now, baby here as I amPull me close, try and understandDesire is hunger, is the fire I breatheLove is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now, try and understandThe way I feel when I'm in your handsTake my hand, come undercoverThey can't hurt you nowCan't hurt you now, can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to loversBecause the night belongs to lustBecause the night belongs to loversBecause the night belongs to us

Have I doubt when I'm aloneLove is a ring, the telephoneLove is an angel disguised as lustHere in our bed until the morning comes

Come on now, try and understandThe way I feel under your commandTake my hand as the sun descendsThey can't touch you nowCan't touch you now, can't touch you now

Because the night belongs to loversBecause the night belongs to lustBecause the night belongs to loversBecause the night belongs to us

With love we sleepWith doubt the vicious circleTurns and burnsWithout you, I cannot liveForgive, the yearning burningI believe it's time, too real to feelSo touch me now, touch me now, touch me now

Because the night belongs to loversBecause the night belongs to lustBecause the night belongs to loversBecause the night belongs to us

Because tonight there are two loversIf we believe in the night we trustBecause tonight there are two loversBecause the night belongs to lustBecause the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us'Cause we believe, the night will love us'Cause we believe, in the night we trustBecause the night belongs to lovers
