Because The Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take me now, baby
Here as I am
Hold me close
Try and understand
The sirens' hunger
Is the fire I breathe
Love is the banquet
On which we feed
Come on now
Try and understand
The way I feel
When I'm in your hands
Take my hand
As the sun descends
You can't touch me now
Can't touch me now
Can't touch me now...
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to love
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to love
If we believe in the fact we're lovers
If we believe in the fact we're trust
If we believe in the fact we're lovers
Because the night belongs to love
