The Night Will Only Know
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.

Parked on some old backstreet
They laid down in the backseat
And fell into the fire down below
But they would pay for their deceving
For a deadly web was weaving
Why they picked that spot that evening
Lord, the night will only know.

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.

They saw a woman pleading
Stumbling, begging, and retreating
’til she became the victim of a 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

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.

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.
