One Less Set of Footsteps - Jim Croce Songtext
von Jim Croce

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

So don′t be gettin' excited
Oh, when you hear that slammin' door
′Cause there′ll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the morning

And we've been hidin′ from something
That should have never gone this far
But after all, it's what we′ve done
That makes us what we are

And you've been talking in silence
Well, if it′s silence you adore
Oh, 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 in
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a-talking

But tomorrow′s a dream away
And today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust

If that′s the way that you want it
Well, that's the way I want it more
′Cause 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 in
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a-talking

But tomorrow's a dream away
When today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust


If that′s the way that you want it
Oh, that's the way I want it more
'Cause there′ll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the morning

Oh, there′ll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the morning
