One Less Set of Footsteps Mary Hopkin

We've 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 gettin' excited
When you hear that slammin' door
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'

We've been hidin' from somethin'
That should've never gone this far
After all it's what we've done
That makes us what we are

You've been talkin' in silence
But if it's silence you adore
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'

Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less woman walkin'
One less pair of jeans upon 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
