They're Leaving Me Behind |
| 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 |
