Shiver Me Timbers - Holly Cole
Written by：Tom Waits
I'm leaving my family and leaving 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 singing my say
And shiver me timbers I'm a sailing away
The fog's lifting and the sand's shifting and I'm drifting on out
Ol' captain Ahab he ain't got nothing on me
So just swallow me don't follow me I travel alone
Blue water's my daughter and I'm skipping like a stone
The fog's lifting and the sand's shifting and I'm drifting on out
Ol' captain Ahab he ain't got nothing on me
So just swallow me don't follow me I travel alone
Blue water's my daughter and I'm skipping like a stone
Please call my family 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 staying
And shiver me timbers I'm a sailing away
