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
