Everybody's talking - Harry Nilsson (1969 live) (with lyrics)

Theme from the movie "Midnight Cowboy"






(Lyrics)

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
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather
Suits my clothes

Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean
Like a stone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh, oh

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather
Suits my clothes

Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean
Like a stone

Everybody's talking at me
I can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

I won't let you leave
My love behind
No, I won't let you leave

Oh, oh...
I won't let you leave
My love behind

I won't let you leave
