LYRICS

Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close try and understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Stay with me now till the mornin' comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

What I got I have earned
What I'm not darling I have learned
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
Just stay in my bed till the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Your love is here and now
The vicious circle turns and burns without
And though I cannot live forgive me now
The time has come to take this moment and
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us


MORE INFO

The first draft of 'Because the Night' was written by Bruce Springsteen and a demo version was recorded by Bruce and the E Street Band in 1977. With Bruce's permission, the lyrics were subsequently altered and a version of the song released by Patti Smith in March 1978 as a single from the album 'Easter', which became a huge international hit. Bruce didn't release a studio version of this song until 2010 for his album 'The Promise', but he often played it at his live shows, and released a live version in a 1986 compilation.
