Live 11 Jun 1988 version
Take me now baby here as I am
Hold me close try and understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Stay with me now till the morning comes
Well come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hand
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt us now
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
What I got I have earned
What I am baby I have learned
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
Stay with me now till the morning comes
Yeah 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 us now
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
Your love it seeds in doubt
The vicious circle turns and burns without
You know I cannot live, forgive me now
But time has come to take the moment and
They can't hurt us now
No baby
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
[Guitar solo]
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, baby
Because the night
Because the night, baby
Because the night, whao!
The above lyrics are for the live 11 Jun 1988 performance of BECAUSE THE NIGHT at Stadio Comunale in Turin, Italy, during the Tunnel Of Love Express Tour.
Initially two shows at Stadio Comunale were announced, on 11 and 12 Jun 1988 (see the above promotional poster). 55,000 ticket for the first night were sold out, but only about 7,000 tickets for the second night were sold. The second show was cancelled due to poor ticket sales and the tickets became valid for the first night's show.
