Because the Night - Live at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY - December 1980

Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close try an' understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Break my back 'til 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 baby, I have learned
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
Just stay in my bed 'til 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 recedes without
The vicious circle turns and burns without
And though I cannot live forgive me now
The time has come to take the moment
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us 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
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
