The Night Will Only Know

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
That night will live foreverTheir first time to lie togetherThey were finally where desire dared them to goBoth belonging to anotherBut longing to be loversPromising each other that the night will only know.Parked on some old backstreetThey laid down in the backseatAnd fell into the fire down belowBut they would pay for their decevingFor a deadly web was weavingWhy they picked that spot that eveningLord, the night will only know.Well within the innuendosJust outside the steamy windowsThe night was shattered by a woman's screamMotionless and frightenedThe grip of fate had tightenedAnd with trembling hands they wiped away the steam.They saw a woman pleadingStumbling, begging, and retreating'Til she became the victim of a foeAnd they watched her fall in silenceTo save their own allianceBut the reason for the violenceJust the night will only knowAnd every paper ran the storyShe was stripped of all her gloryAnd they told exactly how the woman diedAbandoned and forsakenToo many pills were takenAnd they ruled the woman's death a suicide.Bound by their behaviorThey could have been her saviorNow guilt becomes an endless debt they oweBut another crime was committedAnd it's never been admittedHave the guilty been acquittedLord, the night will only know.
