Sweet Sin, Goodnight

You came back Tuesday with a bottle of red And a black dress that couldn't hide That you'd been cryin' all afternoon Somewhere between your husband and my lies We poured the wine, we burned the candles Put on that song from Memphis '06 And we both knew this was the last one Before the guilt pulled the trick

Sweet sin, goodnight Loved you by the porch light Sweet sin, goodnight Everything we were wasn't right But it felt like heaven's wrong side And I'd do it all again Sweet sin, goodnight My angel, my end

You said "Let's run to Oklahoma Let's leave all these people behind" I said "Baby, we can't run far enough To lose our own damn minds" You cried into my shoulder I smoothed your hair back soft You whispered "Then promise me one thing: Don't write me when I'm lost"

I drove you home at three AM You wouldn't let me walk you up Said "If he wakes, he'll kill us both And I love him too much" You closed the door, the porch light flickered I drove down Jefferson alone Radio played some old slow song And I finally understood the word "home"

Sweet sin, goodnight Lost you to the porch light Sweet sin, goodnight You loved me, and you left me right I got the taste of you forever And a scar I can't explain Sweet sin, goodnight And goodnight again Sweet sin, goodnight And goodnight again
