One Less Set Of Footsteps

(álbum: Jerry Reed Sings Jim Croce - 1980)

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...
But tomorrow's a dream away today has turned to dust...
