One Slip

A rustless eye across a weary room,
A glazed look and I was no the road to ruin,
Moves they played and we played as we whirled without end,
No hint no word her honor to defend.

I will!
I will she sighed to my request,
And then she tossed her maine,
And my resolve was put to the test.

We drowned in desire our souls on fire,
I lead the way to the funeral pire,
Without a word of consequence,
We gave into our decadence.

One slip and down the hole we fall,
Seems to take no time at all,
A momentary lapse of reason combines a life with a life,
The one regret we'll never forget,
They'll be no sleeping 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 moments slipped by and soon the seeds were sown,
The years flew by for either one or did you play it alone?

One slip and down the hole we fall,
It seems to take no time at all,
A momentary lapse of reason combines a life to a life,
The one regret we will never forget,
There'll be no sleeping here tonight.
