The Tiger & Me - Slipped Your Mind

It started in the morning with a call to all the arms
And it continued through the afternoon
But I will give you everything I have, everything I'll ever have
I'm holding out to savour the one thing true

It must've slipped my mind
I remember now that I have seen his crooked white grin
amongst the wealthy and wise
Inside a red room I can still smell her perfume
but I have also seen the hunger in his big black eyes

She spent her whole life waiting for the wolf to return to her door
Red was the colour of denial but you wanted some more

He was a good man or so they said
They didn't know the devil that he kept hidden in his head
He could do no wrong
But worse he did she surprised him

It must've slipped his mind
The latch on his door he left it hanging loose
And the noose tightened slowly

She spent her whole life waiting for the wolf to return to her door
Red was the colour of denial but you wanted some more

So strip out all those faceless truths just
Gimme something I can use

She spent her whole life waiting for the wolf to return to her door
Red was the colour of denial but you wanted some more
