Because The Night Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

Take me now, baby, here as I am 

Hold me close, n' try n' understand 

Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe 

Love is a banquet on which we feed 

C'mon now, try n' understand 

The way I feel under your command 

Take my hand, as the sun descends 

They can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya 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, baby, when I'm alone 

Love is a ring, on the telephone 

Love is an angel disguised as lust 

Here in our bed 'til the morning comes 

C'mon now, try n' understand 

The way I feel under your command 

Take my hand, as the sun descends 

They can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya 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 cycle turns, n' burns 

Without you oh I cannot live, forgive the yearnin' burnin' 

I believe it's time, too real to feel, so take me now, take me now, take 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
