Letra de
Because the Night

A música Because the Night foi co-escrita por Patti Smith e Bruce Springsteen durante as sessões de gravação do álbum Easter de Patti Smith em 1978. Springsteen inicialmente escreveu a canção para seu próprio álbum, Darkness on the Edge of Town, mas não estava satisfeito com ela. Patti Smith estava trabalhando no mesmo estúdio e, ao ouvir a demo, pediu para finalizar a música. Because the Night acabou se tornando um dos maiores sucessos de Smith, ... destacando-se como uma poderosa balada de rock. Ver mais [+]

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 when I'm in your hand.
Take my hand; come under cover.
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 on 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 the night belongs to lovers.
Because the night belongs to us.
