"They're Leaving Me Behind" lyrics - NICK DRAKE

NICK DRAKE
"They're Leaving Me Behind"

A tramp moves on to the end of the street
I listen to the echo of his hobnail feet
For some there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.

The world hurries on at its breakneck pace
People fly by in their lifelong race
For them there's a future to find
And I think they're leaving me behind.

The chances they come, but the chances have been lost
Success can be gained, but at too great a cost
For some there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.

The wind sweeps up and goes back to its tree
The rain flows by and moves on to the sea
For them there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
