Because the Night - Live Songtext
von 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 when I′m in your hands
Take my hand come under cover
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 on 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

Without love we sleep with doubt
The vicious circle turns and burns
Without you oh I cannot live
Forgive the yearning burning
I believe it′s time to heal to feel
To 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 the nights they are to lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to love


Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
