Shiver Me Timbers — текст песни (Tom Waits)

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
