Tom Waits – Shiver Me Timbers Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: The Heart Of Saturday Night

I^,m leavin^, my fam^,ly
Leavin^, all 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
Singin^, my say
Shiver me Timbers
^,Cause I^,m a-sailin^, away

And the fog^,s liftin^,
And the sand^,s shiftin^,
I^,m driftin^, on out
Ol^, Captain Ahab
He ain^,t got nothin^, on me, now.
So swallow me, don^,t follow me
I^,m trav^,lin^, alone
Blue water^,s my daughter
^,n I^,m gonna skip like a stone

So please call my missus

Gotta tell her not to cry
^,Cause my goodbye is written
By the moon in the sky
Hey and nobody knows me
I can^,t fathom my stayin^,
Shiver me timbers
^,Cause I^,m a-sailin^, away

And the fog^,s liftin^,
And the sand^,s shiftin^,
I^,m driftin^, on out
Ol^, Captain Ahab
He ain^,t got nothin^, on me
So come and swallow me, follow me
I^,m trav^,lin^, alone
Blue water^,s my daughter
^,n I^,m gonna skip like a stone

And I^,m leavin^, my family
Leavin^, all my friends
My body^,s at home
But my heart^,s in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
Upon a new front page sky
And shiver me timbers
^,Cause I^,m a-sailin^, away
