One Less Set of Footsteps (Harper College 2/5/73) Jim Croce

We been runnin' away from
Something we both know
We've long run out of things to say
And I guess I better go

So don't be gettin' excited
When you that slammin' door
'cause there be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'

Yea there be one less set of footsteps
On your floor, one less man a-walkin'
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a-talkin'

But tomorrows a dream away
And today has turned to dusk
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust

And we been talkin' in silence
Well if it's silence you adore
Then there be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the morning
