One Short Night

One short night with a stranger
One full moon over my head
Once false move and it's over
So I always think of what we said, my baby
Strange how heavy my heart is
Strange how dark it is tonight
Strange the way this all started
I guess I'm losing track of wrong and right
And as the lights go dim
I lie down with him
And as I'm lying there
I only smell your hair
It's like you're across the hall
With your ear glued to the wall
And as I move to let him in
I can feel you crawl under my skin
And I can feel you from the inside
Prowling like a devil that I'm trying to hide
I can feel your heart beating
Closer than the poison of my pride
Caught up in a moment
I thought I'd feel no shame
Because I didn't have to tell you lies
When the daylight came
But now down goes that silver tear
Down goes my golden year
Down we go in a water slide
That's made up of the tears I've cried
And I can feel you from the inside
Prowling like a devil that I'm trying to hide
I can feel your heart beating
Closer than the poison of my pride
I can feel you, you're touching me
I look at him but it's you I see, baby
I can feel your heart beating
Closer than the poison of my pride
One short night
One short night
