my body's at home but my heart's in the wind

Sails up before the sun this morning for a wonderful time on the water.  A few hours of sailing and then a couple of hours working on the Schooner Virginia.  Driving home I heard a Tom Waits song that I had not heard before.  It is called Shiver Me Timbers.  Below are a few lines from the song.


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