Shiver Me Timbers (T.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 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

has 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 googbye 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

/Now the fogs liftin'......

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

shiver me timbers

as I'm sailing goodbye........
