10,000 Maniacs · Campfire Songs: The Popular, Obscure & Unknown Recordings [2004]

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, a 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



Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

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 to heal to feel

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



Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers

And everybody says

It belongs to us
