Lyrics

Everybody's talkin' at me
I can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin', starin'
I can't see their faces
Just only the shadows of their eyes
That's all I can see
Goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
In the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Where it is, nobody knows
Bankin' off of the northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talkin' at me
I can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of their minds
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
In the pourin' rain, ooh baby
I'm goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Where that's gonna be, I don't know
Bankin' off of the northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talkin' at me
I can't hear a word they're sayin'
Everybody's talkin' at me
I can't hear a word they're sayin'
...
