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 frontpage 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 called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest
I'm singing my say
Shiver me Timbers
I'm a sailing away
(Chorus)
Now the fog's lifting
The sand's shifting
I'm drifting on out
Old captain Ahab
He ain't got nothing on me
(Verse Reprise)
So swallow me, don't follow me
I'm traveling alone
Blue waters my daughter
I'm gonna skip like a stone
(Break)
So please call my misses
And tell her not to cry
'cause my goodbye is written
By the moon in the sky
Oh and nobody knows me
I can't fathom my stayin'
Shiver me timbers
I'm a sailing away
(Chorus)
(Repeat first verse)
