One Slip

A restless eye across a weary room A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin The music played and played as we whirled without end    No hint no word her honour to defend I will I will she sighed to my request And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test        Then drowned in desire our souls on fire I lead the way to the funeral pyre And without a thought of the consequence I gave into my decadence One slip and down the hole we fall It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason that binds a life for life A small regret you won’t forget there’ll be no sleep in here tonight.                          Was it love or was it the idea of being in love? Or was it the hand of fate that seemed to fit just like a glove?        The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone One slip and down the hole we fall. It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason that binds life to a life The one regret you will never forget there’ll be no sleep in here tonight
