Thank you for answering my question. Now to answer yours:

"What I want to know is what

"But another crime was committed And it's never been admitted Have the guilty been acquitted Lord, the night will only know."

is referring to."

I think what this means is that the "crime" was that the couple in the car were being adulterous. Adultry is oftne considered a crime in addtion to the fact that they were an accessory to murder because they lied by omission and also because they didn nothing to help the person being murdered.

'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.'

Obviously stating that the charachters will remember the night forever,firstly this is because it is their first time going to have sex with each other. THey are both married but have been longing to be together for a long time and now they finally are they have decided that it will forever be their own secret.

'Parked on some old...

'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.'

I believe this portion of the song refers to the woman that was in the car and that her guilt became over whelming, as a result she committed suicide.
