Shiver Me Timbers Lyrics – Tom Waits
Singer: Tom Waits
Title: Shiver Me Timbers
I’m leavin’ my family
And 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’s
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
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
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 gonna skippin’ like a stone
And please call my missus
Tell her not to cry
My goodbye is written
By the moon in the sky
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 skippin’ like a stone
And I’m leavin’ my family
And I’m 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
