Shiver Me Timbers |
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
