They're Leaving Me Behind lyrics

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 hurries on at its 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 it’s 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 to the sea

For them, there's a future to find

But I think they're leaving me behind.
