Because the Night (Mahogany Sessions) Songtext
von Matthew and the Atlas

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try to understand
Desire′s a hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now, try to understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hand
Take my hand, come undercover
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 a doubt 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 to 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

In love, we sleep
In doubt the vicious circle turns and burns
Without you, I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning, burning
I believe in 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 the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
