I've Had Her / Because the Night

[Verse 1]

The night air is inviting you to walk out on the trail

You will not fail

You will not fail

And by the beach a lady sails a ship without a sail

And you reach out to her

And you reach out to her

[Refrain]

But I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing

[Verse 2]

Down the cliff you clamber and you tumble to the shore

The wild waves roar

The wild waves roar

And on the reef the mermaid siren sprays one perfume more

And she shouts to you

Through the foam she shouts to you

[Chorus]

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Bеcause the night belongs to lovеrs

Because the night belongs to us

[Verse 3]

The players at the party are prepared to take a chance

They drop their pants

They drop their pants

In the corner, she's so crystalline no one dares to ask a dance

And she calls out to you

And she calls out to you

[Refrain]

But I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing

[Verse 4]

In the prison of your broken bed you dribble in a dream

And find a queen

And find a queen

But your sleep is sadly stolen by a face that is a stream

That's flowing out to you

She's flowing out to you

[Refrain]

But I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing

[Verse 5]

The vision of the seven veils is racing down the road

The signs are slow

The signs are slow

But beauty is the mistress and by beauty you've been told

You'd speed the route for her

You'd speed the route for her

[Refrain]

But I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing

[Verse 6]

The fog has changed the city to a friendly frightened fawn

The shades are drawn

The shades are drawn

To possess her misty madness you would gladly duel the dawn

And fade out to her

And fade out to her

[Chorus]

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

[Verse 7]

The circus clown, he hides a tear beneath his painted smile

And charms a child

And charms a child

While the dancing girl on the prancing horse blows kisses down the aisle

You'd roll about for her

You'd roll about for her

[Refrain]

But I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing

[Verse 8]

All along the flaming field your fairy love is spread

Your time has fled

Your time has fled

Now the only way to touch her is the gun inside your head

Now there's no doubt for her

Now there's no doubt for her

[Chorus]

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

If we believe that the night is in us
