Bette Midler Shiver Me Timbers lyrics

Well I'm leavin' my family
I'm leavin' all my friends
My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
And 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 Joe Conrad
Would be proud of me
Many before me
Been called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest
Singin', by sayin'
Shiver me timbers
Let's all sail away

And the fog liftin'
The sands shiftin'
I'm driftin' on out
Old Captain Ahab, got nothin' on me
Swallow me, don't follow me
I'm travelin' alone

The water's my daughter
I skip like a stone

And the fogs liftin'
The sands shiftin'
I'm driftin' on out
Old Captain Ahab, got nothin' on me
Swallow me, don't follow me
I'm travellin' alone
The water, she's my daughter
I skip like a stone

Won't you please call my family
Tell 'em not to cry
My goodbyes are written
By the moon in the sky
Say, nobody knows me
I've got no reason to stay
Shiver me timbers
I'm sailing away
