Madeleine Peyroux

everybody s talkin

Everybody?s talkin? at me
I don?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
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody?s talking at me
I don?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
And 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
