Because the Night

Patti Smith

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 to understand
The way i feel when i'm in your hand
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belong to lust
Because the night belong to lovers
Because the night belong to us
Have I doubt when I am alone
Love is a ring on the thelephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Love is our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way i feel under your command
Take my hands and the sun descends
They can't touch you now, can't touch you now
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 take me now. Take me now.
Touch me now.
