D#                             Gm
a restless eye across a weary room
D#                                      F
a glazed look and I was on the road to rui
     C
The music played and played as
                   D#
we whirled without end
F                       G#
No hint, no word her honour to defen
D#                                 Gm
I will, I will she sighed to my request
              D#
And then she tossed her mane while
                           F
my resolve was put to the test
       C
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire,
   D#
I lead the way to the funeral pyre
        F
And without a thought of the consequence,
I gave into my decadence

Chorus:
C                             D#maj7/A#
One slip, and down the hole we fall
    A#                      Gm
It seems to take no time at all
   C
a momentary lapse of reason,
     D#maj7/A#
That binds a life for life
   A#
a small regret, you won't forget,
   Gm
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

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
