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)
