Shiver Me Timbers - Cover of the song by Tom Waits

An armchair escape to freedom and self-realization.

The lyrics:

Shiver Me Timbers – Tom Waits

I'm leavin' my fam'ly / 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 / Gonna be proud of me
Like many before me / Who've been called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest / Singin' my say
Shiver me Timbers / 'Cause I'm a-sailin' away

And the fog's liftin' / The sand's shiftin' / And I'm driftin' on out
Ol' Captain Ahab / He ain't got nothin' on me, now.
So swallow me, don't follow me / I'm trav'lin' alone
Blue water's my daughter / I'm gonna skip like a stone

So please call my missus / Gotta tell her not to cry
'Cause my goodbye is written / By the moon in the sky
And nobody knows me / I can't fathom my stayin'
Shiver me timbers / 'Cause I'm a-sailin' away

And the fog's liftin' / The sand's shiftin' / And I'm driftin' on out
Ol' Captain Ahab / He ain't got nothin' on me, now.
So swallow me, don't follow me / I'm trav'lin' alone
Blue water's my daughter / I'm gonna skip like a stone

And I'm leavin' my fam'ly / 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
Shiver me timbers / 'Cause I'm a-sailin' away
