One Less Set Of Footsteps — текст песни (Jim Croce)

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
There`ll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor (in the mornin`)

Chorus:

Well there`ll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man to walk in
One less pair of jeans on 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

Well if that`s the way that you want it
That`s the way I want it more
Well they`ll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor (in the mornin`)

(Repeat from Chorus to end)
