Leaving My Family Leaving my family Leaving all my friends My body's at home My heart's in a wind Where the clouds are like headlines On a new front page sky My tears are salt water Moons full and high Well I know Martin Eaton Is gonna be proud of me As many before me Have been caught by the sea To be up in the crow's nest Singing my say Shiver me timbers I'm sailing away And the fog's lifting The sand's shifting I'm drifting on out Oh Captain Ahab He's got nothing on me So just swallow me Don't follow me I'm traveling alone Blue water's my daughter I'm gonna skip like a stone Blue water's my daughter I'm gonna skip like a stone Blue water's my daughter I'm gonna skip like a stone Blue water's my daughter I'm gonna skip like a stone And the fog's lifting The sand's shifting I'm drifting on out Oh Captain Ahab He's got nothing on me So just swallow me Don't follow me I'm traveling alone Blue water's my daughter I'm gonna skip like a stone Please call my family Tell them not to cry My goodbye is written By the moon in the sky And nobody knows me I can't fathom my staying Shiver me timbers I'm sailing away
