I came upon two strangers
On a black and white TV
In a hotel room called no-where

In the dead of half-past three
Their eyes met across the captain's table
Both tried 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're headed into stormy weather
They saw it even thou they stood together
The one that got away


Now he seems past the glamour
She sees past the lines

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
