Leaving Me Behind Lyrics - Nick Drake

The 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 humes on at it's breakneck pace 

People fly in their lifelong race 

For them there's a future to find 

But 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 it's tree 

The rain flows by and moves to the sea 

For them there's a future to find 

But I think they're leaving me behind.
