💿 The Heart of Saturday Night, 1974

I'm leavin' my family
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

I know Martin Eden
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 singin' my say
Shiver me timbers
As I'm a-sailin' away

And the fog's liftin'
The sand's shiftin'
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 travellin' alone
Blue water's my daughter
And I'm gonna skip like a stone

Please call my missis
Tell her not to cry
My goodbye is written
By the moon in the sky
And nobody knows me
I can't fathom my stayin'
And shiver me timbers
As I'm a-sailin' away

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

I'm leavin' my family
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
And shiver me timbers
As I'm a-sailin' away
