Artist: Patti Smith Album: Easter (1978) Title: Because The Night
Lyrics Because The NightTake 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 hands from under cover
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They 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 when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in my bed til 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
They can't hurt you now
They 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
Your love is here and now
The vicious circle turns and burns without you
Oh I cannot live forgive
The earth is burning
Too real to deal
So touch me now
Touch me now, touch me 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
Because this night there are two lovers
We choose to believe in the night we trust
Because the night belongs to lovers
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 belongs to us |
