Because the Night

1. 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.

R: Because the night belongs to lovers.

Because the night belongs to lust.

Because the night belongs to lovers.

Because the night belongs to us.

2. 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.

R: Because the night...

*: With love we sleep; with doubt the viscious 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.

R: Because the night...
