The Tiger & Me - Slipped Your Mind lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Refrain] She spent her whole life waiting for the wolf to return to her door Red was the colour of denial but she wanted some more [Verse 2] He was a good man or so they said They didn't know the devils 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 tightens slowly [Refrain] 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 [Bridge] So strip out all those faceless truths just Gimme something I can use [Refrain/Outro] She spent her whole life waiting for the wolf to return to her door You said that red was the colour of denial, but you wanted some more
