One Slip (2019 Remix) [Live]

[Verse 1]

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 led the way to the funeral pyre

And without a thought of the consequence

I gave in to my decadence

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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 to a life

One regret, you will never forget

There’ll be no sleep in here tonight

[Outro]

One slip… one slip…
