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
