Shiver Me Timbers

Lyrics

I'm leavin' my fam'ly
 Leavin' all 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
 And I know Martin Eden's
 Gonna 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
 And the fog's liftin'
 And the sand's shiftin'
 I'm driftin' on out
 Ol' Captain Ahab
 He ain't got nothin' on me, now.
 So swallow me, don't follow me
 I'm trav'lin' alone
 Blue water's my daughter
 'n I'm gonna skip like a stone
 So please call my missus
 Gotta tell her not to cry
 'Cause my goodbye is written
 By the moon in the sky
 Hey and nobody knows me
 I can't fathom my stayin'
 Shiver me timbers
 'Cause I'm a-sailin' away
 And the fog's liftin'
 And the sand's shiftin'
 I'm driftin' on out
 Ol' Captain Ahab
 He ain't got nothin' on me
 So come and swallow me, follow me
 I'm trav'lin' alone
 Blue water's my daughter
 'n I'm gonna skip like a stone
 And I'm leavin' my family
 Leavin' all my friends
 My body's at home
 But my heart's in the wind
 Where the clouds are like headlines
 Upon a new front page sky
 And shiver me timbers
 'Cause I'm a-sailin' away
