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...
