Because The Night
Patty Smith Group

- (#13  1978)

 Take me now baby here as I am
 Hold 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 undercover
 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, 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
 
 With love we sleep
 With doubt the vicious circle
 Turns and burns
 Without you I cannot live
 Forgive, the yearning burning
 I believe it's time, too real to feel
 So 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 tonight there are two lovers
 If we believe in the night we trust
 Because tonight there are two lovers
 Because the night belongs to lust
 Because the night belongs to lovers
 Because the night belongs to us
 
 Here is my transcription off the original (vinyl) album.
