Lyrics

Everybody's talkin' at me
I can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off the north east wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
Skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talking at me
I can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off the north east wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
Skipping over the ocean like a stone
No, I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave my love behind
