Shiver Me Timbers by Tom Waits I'm leaving my family leaving all my friends My body's at home but my hearts in the wind Where the clouds are like headlines on a new front page sky My tears are salt water and the moons full and high And I know Martin Eden's gonna be proud of me Many before me have been drawn by the sea To be up in the crow's nest singing my say Shiver me Timbers as I'm sailing away Now the fog's lifting and the sand's shifting I'm drifting on out Old captain Ahab he ain't got nothing on me So swallow me , follow me I'm travelling alone Blue waters my daughter I'm gonna skip like a stone So please call my misses tell her not to cry Cause my goodbye is written by the moon in the sky Nobody knows me I can't fathom my stayin' Shiver me timbers as I'm sailing away (CHORUS) I'm leaving my family leaving all my friends My body's at home but my hearts in the wind Where the clouds are like headlines on a new front page sky Shiver me timbers as I'm sailing away END
