One Less Set of Footsteps

We've been runnin' away from somethin' we both know

We've long run out of things to say

And I think I'd better go

So don't be gettin' excited, oh, when you hear that slammin' door

'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps

On your floor in the mornin'

And we've been hidin' from somethin'

That should've never gone this far

But after all, it's what we've done, makes us what we are

And you've been talkin' in silence, well, if it's silence you adore

Oh, there'll be one less set of footsteps

On your floor in the mornin'

Oh, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor

One less man to walk in

One less pair of jeans upon your door

One less voice a-talkin'

But tomorrow's a dream away

And today has turned to dust

Your silver tongue has turned to clay

And your golden rule to rust

If that's the way that you want it

Well, that's the way I want it more

'Cause there'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 in

One less pair of jeans upon your door

One less voice a-talkin'

But tomorrow's a dream away

Oh, and today has turned to dust

Your silver tongue has turned to clay

And your golden rule to rust

If that's the way that you want it

Well, that's the way I want it more

'Cause there'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 in the mornin'
