"One Less Set Of Footsteps" lyrics

One Less Set Of Footsteps

We've been a running away from
Something 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 getting excited
When you hear that slamming door
Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor
In the morning

And we've both been a hiding from something
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 talking in silence
Well, if it's silence you adore
Then there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor
In the morning

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 talking

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 morning

Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor
And one less man to walk on
One less pair of jeans upon your door
And one less voice a talking

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 morning
