Shiver Me Timbers Lyrics
Artist: Tom Waits
Album: The Early Years Volume 2
I'm leavin' my fam'ly And leavin' 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 And singin' my say Shiver me Timbers 'Cause I'm a-sailin' away
The fog's liftin' And the sand's shiftin' and I'm driftin' on out And Ol' Captain Ahab He ain't got nothin' on me. So come on and 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 Tell her not to cry 'Cause my goodbye is written By the moon in the sky And nobody knows me I can't fathom my stayin' Shiver me timbers 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 on and swallow me, don't 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' 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 And shiver me timbers I'm a-sailin' away
