Shiver Me Timbers - James Taylor

I’m leavin' my fam’ly

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

Gon' be proud of me

And many before

Who’ve been called by the sea

To be up in the crow’s nest

Singin' my say

Shiver me timbers

I’m sailin' away

The fog’s liftin' and the sands are shiftin'

And I’m, I’m driftin' free

Ol' Captain Ahab

He ain’t got nothin' on me

C’mon swallow me, don’t follow me

I’m travelin' alone

Blue water’s my daughter

I’m gonna skip like a stone

Please, call my missus

And tell her I cry

My goodbye is written

By the moon in the sky

And nobody here knows me

I can’t fathom my stayin'

Shiver me timbers

I’m sailin' away

Fog’s liftin' and the sand’s shiftin'

And I’m driftin' free

Ol' Captain Ahab

Ain’t got nothin' on me

So swallow me, don’t follow me

Travel alone

Blue water’s my daughter

And I’m gonna skip like a stone

I’m leavin' my family

I’m leavin' my friends

My body’s at home

But my heart’s in the wind

Where the, the clouds are like headlines

On a new front page sky

Shiver me timbers

I’m sailin' away
