Leaving Me Behind

Nick Drake

Compositor: 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 hurres on at it's breakneck pace
People fly by 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 on to the sea
For them, there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
