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 |
