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
