Everybody's talkin' at me

I don't hear a word they're sayin'

Only the echoes of my mind!



People stop an' starin'

I can't even see their faces

Only the shadows of their eyes!



Goin' where the sun keeps a-shinin'

Through the pouring rain

Goin' where the weather suits my clothes!



Bankin' off the north-east wind

Sailin' on a summer breeze

Skippin' over the ocean like a stone!

Goin' where the sun keeps shinin'

Through the pouring rain

Goin' where the weather suits my clothes!



Bankin' off the north-east wind

Sailin' on a summer breeze

Skippin' over the ocean like a stone!



Everybody's talkin' at me

I don't hear a word they're sayin'

Only the echoes of my mind!



I won't leave my love behind

NoI won't leave my love behind . . .



Everybody's talkin' at me . . .
