One Slip

  1. A Momentary Lapse Of Reason (1987)

    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 in to 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 a life for life
    A small regret, you won't forget,
    There'll be no sleep in here tonight
    One slip ... one slip
