everybody's talking

everybody's talkin' at me

i don't hear a word they're sayin'

only the echoes of my mind

people stop

starin' at me

i don't even see their faces

only the shadow of their eyes

going where the sun keeps a-shinin'

through the pourin' rain

goin' where the weather suits my clothes

bankin' off the northeast wind

sailin' on a summer breeze

skippin' over the ocean like a stone

why

why

why?

why

why

why?

everybody keeps talkin' at me

i don't hear a word they're sayin'

now

only the echoes of my mind

people stop

starin' at me

i don't even see their faces

only the shadow of their eyes

skippin'

skippin'

skippin'

skip

skip

over the ocean like a stone

i said
