Because the night - Patti Smith

 

Strophe) 

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 hand

Take my hand, come under cover

They can´t hurt you now, can´t hurt you now, can´t hurt you now 

 

Refrain) 

Because the night belongs to lovers 

Because the night belongs to lust 

Because the night belongs to lover 

Because the night belongs to us 

 

 

 Strophe) 

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 n ow, try and understand 

the way I feel under your comman 

Take my hand as the sun descends 

They can´t touch you now, can´t touch you now, can´t touch you now 

 

Refrain) 

Because the night belongs to lovers 

Because the night belongs to lust 

Because the night belongs to lover 

Because the night belongs to us 

 

Bridge) 

With love we sleep, with doubt the ciscious circle turn and turns 

Without you I cannot live, forgive the yearning, burning 

I believe in time, too real to feel 

so touch me now, touch me now, touch me now 

 

Refrain) 

Because the night belongs to lovers 

Because the night belongs to lust 

Because the night belongs to lover 

Because the night belongs to us
