Because the Night

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull me close and 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

Oh, 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 beds 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

Oh, because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

In love we see with doubt
The vicious circle turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive the yearning burning
I believe it's time to real to feel
So take me now, take me now, take me now

Oh, because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
And if everybody celebrates, it belongs to us
