One Less Set Of Footsteps
We've been a runnin’ away from somethin' that we both know
We've long run out of things to say and I think I’d better go
So don't you be gettin' excited when you hear that slammin' door
Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor in the mornin'
And we've both been a hidin' from somethin’ that should’ve never gone this far
But after all it's what we’ve done that makes us what we are
And you've been a talkin' in silence well if it's silencе you adore
Then therе’ll be one less set of footsteps on your floor in the mornin'
Well there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man to walk on
One less pair of jeans upon your door
And one less voice a talkin'
But tomorrow's a dream away today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay and your golden rule to rust
Well honey if that's the way that you want it well that's the way I want it more
And there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor in the mornin'
