Shiver Me Timbers Lyrics
by Tom Waits
INTRO:
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
CHORUS:
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
