Bette Midler - Shiver Me Timbers (Live Version)

Well, I'm 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 upon a new front page sky.
My tears are salt water. The moon's full and high.

And I know Joe Conrad is gonna be proud of me.
Many before me been called by the sea
to be up in the crows nest singin' by saying:
Shiver me timbers. Let's all sail 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'm travelling alone.
The water's my daughter. I shall skip like a stone.

And the fog's lifting, the sand's shifting, I'm drifting on out.
Old Captain Ahab got nothing on me,
"Swallow me, don't follow me. I travel alone.
The water, she's my daughter. I'll 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 got no reason to stay.
Shiver me timbers. I'm sailing away.

la, la, la, la.
la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la-a, la.
