I came upon two strangers on a black and white TV
|
In a hotel room called nowhere, in the dead of half-past three
|
Their eyes met across the captain's table
|
Both trying to resist, but just weren't able
|
The one that got away.
|
|
You knew it had to happen, the music grew intense
|
In love affairs on oceans, the feelings seem immense
|
Looks like they headed into stormy weather
|
Oh, they saw it, even though they stuck together
|
The one that got away
|
|
Now he sees past the glamour, she sees past the lies
|
The night is quick to anger, the dawn is slow to rise
|
Who knows what the powers are that divide us?
|
She still keeps a photograph beside her
|
The one that got away
|
The one that got away
|
