The Night Will Only Know

Artists : Garth Brooks : 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.
