One Slip - Pink Floyd

作词：David Gilmour/Phil Manzanera

作曲：David Gilmour/Phil Manzanera

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
