Bette Midler Shiver Me Timbers Lyrics

Shiver Me Timbers Lyrics

Well, 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

My tears are salt water, the moon's full and high



And I know Martin Eden would be proud of me

And many before me been called by the sea

Come up to the crows nest singin' your saying

Shiver me timbers, I'm sailing away



And the fog's lifting, the sand's shifting, I'm drifting on out

Old Captain Ahab's got nothin' on me

Swallow me, don't follow me, I travel alone

The water's my daughter, I skip like a stone



And the fog's lifting, the sand is shifting, I'm drifting on out

Old Captain Ahab I'm longing to hear from you

Swallow me, don't follow me, I'm traveling alone

The water, she's my daughter, I'll skip like a stone



Please call my family, tell them not to cry

Goodbyes is written by the moon in the sky

Nobody knows me, I got no reason to stay

So shiver me timbers, I'm sailing away
