Leavin' my family I'm 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 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 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 he got nothin' on me
So come on and swallow me don't follow me I'm travelin' alone
Blue water's my daughter an' I'm skippin' like a stone
And please call my misses 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
The fog's liftin' and the sand's shiftin' and I'm driftin' on out
And ol' Captain Ahab he got nothin' on me
So come on and swallow me don't follow me I'm travelin' alone
Blue water's my daughter an' I'm skippin' like a stone
And I'm leavin' my family 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
