Shiver Me Timbers

Lyrics

I'm leavin' my fam'ly
 Leavin' my friends
 My body's at home
 But my heart's in the wind
 Where the clouds are like headlines
 On a new front page sky
 My tears are salt water
 And the moon's full and high
 
 I know Martin Eden's
 Gon' be proud of me
 And many before me
 Who've been called by the sea
 To be up in the crow's nest
 Singin' my say
 Shiver me Timbers
 'Cause I'm a-sailin' away
 The fog's liftin'
 And the sand's shiftin'
 And I'm, I'm driftin' free
 And ol' Captain Ahab
 He ain't got nothin' on me
 C'mon swallow me, don't follow me
 I won't travel alone
 Blue water's my daughter
 I'm gonna skip like a stone
 ♪
 Please call my missus
 And tell her not to cry
 My goodbye is written
 By the moon in the sky
 And nobody here knows me
 I can't fathom my stayin'
 Shiver me timbers
 I'm a-sailin' away
 The fog's liftin'
 And the sand's shiftin'
 And I'm driftin' free
 And ol' Captain Ahab
 He ain't got nothin' on me
 So swallow me, don't follow me
 Travel alone
 Blue water's my daughter
 And I'm gonna skip like a stone
 I'm leavin' my family
 I'm leavin' my friends
 My body's at home
 But my heart's in the wind
 Where the clouds are like headlines
 On a new front page sky
 And shiver me timbers
 I'm a-sailin' away
