DmThat (xx0231@1)night will live forever
             DmTheir (xx0231@1)first time to lie together
            A (x02220@1)                              DmThey (xx0231@1)were finally where desire dared them to go
         DmBoth (xx0231@1)belonging to another
       DmBut (xx0231@1)longing to be lovers
    A (x02220@1)                        DmPromising (xx0231@1)each other that the night will only know

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

FWell (133211@1)within the innuendos
       DmJust (xx0231@1)outside the steamy windows
      F (133211@1)                               AThe (x02220@1)night was shattered by a woman's scream
    DmMotionless (xx0231@1)and frightened
     DmThe (xx0231@1)grip of fate had tightened
             A (x02220@1)                              Dm (xx0231@1)A (x02220@1)name="chord_xx0231@1">Dm AAnd (x02220@1)with trembling hands they wiped away the steam

They saw a woman pleading
Stumbling, begging and retreating
Until 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 wil only know

FAnd (133211@1)every paper ran the story
           DmShe (xx0231@1)was stripped of all her glory
          F (133211@1)                        AAnd (x02220@1)they told exactly how the woman died
   DmAbandoned (xx0231@1)and forsaken
     DmToo (xx0231@1)many pills were taken
           A (x02220@1)                        Dm (xx0231@1)A (x02220@1)name="chord_xx0231@1">Dm AAnd (x02220@1)they ruled the woman's death as suicide

Bound by their behavior
They could have been her savior
Now guilt becomes the 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
