Lyrics I Think They're Leaving Me Behind - 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 hurries on at its breakneck pace
And people fly by in their lifelong race

For them, there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind (ooh, ooh)

The chances, they come, but the chances have been joined (lately)
Success can be gained, but at too great a cost (I'm still leaving)

For some, there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind
(But I think they're leaving me behind)
(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
Me behind
Me behind
Me behind
