Lyrics

[Chorus]
Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin', starin'
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
[Verse 1]
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off of the northeast winds
Sailin' on summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone
[Verse 2]
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off of the northeast winds
Sailin' on summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone
[Chorus]
Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
[Outro]
I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
Oh, ah, ah
I won't let you leave my love behind
I won't let you leave
