Shiver Me Timbers

I'm leaving my family

I'm leaving 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 now

And many before me who've been called by the sea

To be up in the crow's nest

And singing my say

Shiver me timbers, 'cause I'm a-sailin' away

And the fog's lifting, and the sand's shifting

And I'm drifting on out

Old Captain Ahab, he ain't got nothing on me now

So swallow me, don't follow me

I'm traveling alone

Blue water's my daughter, and I'm gonna skip like a stone

So please call my missus

Gotta tell her not to cry now

'Cause my goodbye is written by the moon in the sky

Hey, and nobody knows me

I can't fathom my staying

And shiver me timbers, 'cause I'm a-sailing away

And the fog's lifting, and the sand's shifting

And I'm drifting on out

Old Captain Ahab, he ain't got nothing on me

So come on and swallow me, don't follow me

I'm traveling alone

Blue water's my daughter, and I'm gonna skip like a stone

I'm leaving my family

I'm leaving 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
