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 
No, I won't leave my love behind . . . 

Everybody's talkin' at me . . .
