10000 Maniacs - Because the Night
Because The Night
[ Music and Lyrics : Bruce Springsteen - Patti Smith ]

Take me now baby here as I am
Pull 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 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 us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt baby when I’m alone
Love is a ring a 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 us
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 to heal to feel
So take me now take me now take me now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
And everybody says
It belongs to us
