Lyrics
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 shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off the a northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone
I said, everybody keeps 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
Skippin', skippin', skippin', skip, skip
Over the ocean like a stone
