10,000 Maniacs

Because The Night

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 under your command

Take my hand as the sun descends

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 us

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt baby, 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 hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now

With love we sleep, with doubt, the vicious circle turns and turns

Without you, oh, I cannot live, forgive, the yearning, burning,

I believe in time, too real to feel

So, take me now, take me now, take me now, oh
