Text: Madeleine Peyroux. Half the Perfect World. Everybody’s Talkin’.

Everybody?s talkin? at me
I can?t hear a word they?re sayin?
Only the echoes of my mind

People stop an' stare
I can?t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I?m goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes

Backin' off with the north east wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
And 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 my mind

People stop an' stare
I can?t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I?m goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes

Backin' off with the north east wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
And skippin' 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
