Everybody's Talkin'
B.J. Thomas · B. J. Thomas Country [1972]
Can't hear a word their saying
only the echos of my mind,
People are stopping and stareing
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 suites my cloths........
Banking off the northeast wind,
Sailing on a summer breeze
Skipping over the ocean like a stone
wha wha ah ah ah whaaaaa.........
I'm going where the sun keeps shining,
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suites my cloths.......
Banking off the northeast wind,
Sailing on a summer breeze
Skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talking at me,
Can't hear a word their saying
Only the echos of my mind.......
And I won't let you leave my love behind.....
I won't let you leave...........
I won't let you leave...........
I won't let you leave...........
