Dm
That night will live forever
             Dm
Their first time to lie together
            A                                Dm
They were finally where desire dared them to go
         Dm
Both belonging to another
       Dm
But longing to be lovers
    A                          Dm
Promising 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

       F
Well within the innuendos
       Dm
Just outside the steamy windows
      F                                 A
The night was shattered by a woman's scream
    Dm
Motionless and frightened
     Dm
The grip of fate had tightened
             A                                Dm  A Dm A
And 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

            F
And every paper ran the story
           Dm
She was stripped of all her glory
          F                          A
And they told exactly how the woman died
   Dm
Abandoned and forsaken
     Dm
Too many pills were taken
           A                          Dm  A Dm A
And 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
