One Less Set of Footsteps

We been runnin' away from Somethin' we both know We've long run out of things to say And I think I better go So don't be getting' 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 been hidin' from somethin' That should have never gone this far But after all it's what we've done That makes us what we are And you been talkin' in silence But if it's silence you adore Oh 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 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 That's the way I want it more 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 When 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 That's the way I want it more There'll be one less set of footsteps On your floor in the mornin' There'll be one less set of footsteps On your floor in the mornin' --- One Less Set of Footsteps - Jim Croce
