Harry Nilsson – TRANSCEND Media Service

This great song became a massive success performed by Harry Nilsson in 1969 as featured song for the film “Midnight Cowboy” starring Dustin Hoffman and John Voight, Oscar for Best Picture plus 15 other awards. (Plot: a con man and a Texas hustler try to survive on the tough streets of New York). Voight, of course, is the father of iconic actress Angelina Jolie.

LYRICS:

Everybody’s talking at me
I don’t hear a word they’re sayin’
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
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the North east winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

I’m going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the North east winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody’s talking at me
Can’t hear a word they’re sayin’
Only the echoes of my mind

I won’t let you leave my love behind
No I won’t let you leave
I won’t let you leave my love behind
I won’t let you leave
