Текст песни

I'm leaving my fam'ly, I'm leaving 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 now
And many before me, who've been called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest, and singing my say
Shiver me timbers, cause I'm a-sailing away

And the fog's lifting, and the sand's shifting, and I'm drifting on out,
Old Captain Ahab, he ain't got nothing on me now,
So swallow me, don't follow me, I'm traveling alone,
Blue water's my daughter, and I'm gonna skip like a stone

So please call my missus, gotta tell her not to cry now
'Cause my goodbye is written by the moon in the sky,
Hey, and nobody knows me, I can't fathom my staying
And shiver me timbers, cause I'm a-sailing away

And the fog's lifting, and the sand's shifting, and I'm drifting on out
And old Captain Ahab, he ain't got nothing on me,
So come on and swallow me, follow me, I'm traveling alone,
Blue water's my daughter, I'm gonna skip like a stone

And I'm leaving my fam'ly, I'm leaving 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
And shiver me timbers, 'cause I'm a-sailing away
