The Night Will Only Know

[Verse 1]

That night will live forever, their first time to lie together

They were finally where desire dared them to go

Both belonging to another, but longing to be lovers

Promising each other that the night will only know

[Verse 2]

Parked on some old backstreet, they laid down in the backseat

And fell into the fire down below

But they would pay for their deceiving, for a deadly web was weaving

Why they picked that spot that evening, Lord, the night will only know

[Verse 3]

Well within the innuendos, just outside the steamy windows

The night was shattered by a woman's scream

Motionless and frightened, the grip of fate had tightened

And with trembling hands they wiped away the steam

[Verse 4]

They saw a woman pleading, stumbling, begging, and retreating

Till she became the victim of her foe

And they watched her fall in silence, to save their own alliance

But the reason for the violence, just the night will only know

[Verse 5]

And every paper ran the story, she was stripped of all her glory

And they told exactly how the woman died

Abandoned and forsaken, too many pills were taken

And they ruled the woman's death a suicide

[Verse 6]

Bound by their behavior, they could have been her savior

Now guilt becomes an endless debt they owe

But another crime was committed, and it's never been admitted

Have the guilty been acquitted, Lord, the night will only know
