Because the Night
Written by - Patti Smith & Bruce Springsteen
From - Easter
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull me close
Try an' understand
Desire and 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 lust
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 lust
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 lust
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...
