Cover art for The Night Will Only Know lyrics by Garth Brooks

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 ++ THEY ARE BOTH CHEATING. THEY ARE PROBABLY ADULTS. HINT: THE NIGHT WILL LIVE FOREVER, BUT NOT ALL OF THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE++

Parked on some old backstreet They laid down in the back seat And fell into the fire down below ++ NO INTERPRETATION NEEDED++

But they would pay for their deceiving For a deadly web was weaving ++ THE DEBT FOR THEIR DECEIVING THAT THEY WILL PAY WILL BE STATED LATER. BUT IT‘S A DEADLY ONE++

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 ++ OUTSIDE A WOMAN IS SCREAMING. THE LOVERS ARE AFRAIGHT TO GET CAUGHT++

They saw a woman pleading Stumbling, begging and retreating' Til 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 will only know ++ NOONE KNOWS WHY THE WOMAN WAS KILLED. BUT THERE WAS VIOLENCE. DO WE CALL A SUICIDE VIOLENCE? I DOUBT SO. SO IN MY VIEW THE WOMAN OUTSIDE WAS KILLED WITH A WEAPON TO BEAT TO DEATH. THE LOVERS IN THE CAR COULD HAVE HELPED HER. IF THEY WOULD LET HER INSIDE, OR HONKED SO OTHERS WOULD BE ALARMED++

And every paper ran the story She was stripped of all her glory And they told exactly how the woman died ++ WHO IS „THEY“? I THINK THE LOVERS TOLD THE STORY. AFTER THE MURDER IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NO LONGER POSSIBLE TO HIDE THAT THEY BOTH WERE THERE ++

Abandoned and forsaken Too many pills were taken And they ruled the woman's death a suicide ++THAT REFERS TO THE WONAN IN THE CAR. ONE OF THE LOVERS. THAT WAS ABBANDONED BY HER PARTNER AND THE LOVER OF THAT NIGHT BECAUSE THE MEMORY IS TOO PAINFUL AND IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD A RELATIONSHIP UPON ++

Bound by their behavior They could have been her savior Now guilt becomes the endless debt they owe. ++ OBVIOUS AS STATED ABOVE++

But another crime was committed And it's never been admitted Have the guilty been acquitted ++ THE SECOND CRIME WAS THE ABSENCE OF HELP. IN GERMANY YOU CAN GET IN JAIL IF YOU DONT HELP PEOPLE IN A DEATH-NEAR SITUATION. I GUESS IT‘S THE SAME IN THE STATES++

Lord, the night will only know

++COMMENTS WELCOME++
