Shiver Me Timbers - Holly Cole

I’m leavin' my fam’ly and leavin' my friends

My body’s at home and 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 is 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

And shiver me timbers 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 travel alone

Blue water’s (4) my daughter and I’m skipping like a stone

So please call my missus, tell her not to cry

My goodbye is written by the moon in the sky

Hey, and nobody knows me I can’t fathom my stayin'

And shiver me timbers I’m a-sailin' away

And the fog’s liftin' and the sand’s shiftin' and 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 travel alone

Blue water’s my daughter and I’m skipping 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
