Garth Brooks - The Night Will Only Know lyrics

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 d**h 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.
