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

If that’s the way that you want it

Well, that’s the way I want it more

Well, there’ll be one less set of footsteps

On your floor in the mornin'

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

If that’s the way that you want it

Well, that’s the way I want it more

Well, there’ll be one less set of footsteps

On your floor in the mornin'

One less set of footsteps

On your floor in the mornin'
