Song 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 humes on at its 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 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.
