Binks' Sake

Going to deliver Binks' sake

Following the sea breeze, riding on the waves
Far across the salty deeps, the merry evening sun
Painting circles in the sky, as the birds sing

Farewell to the harbour, to my old hometown
Let's all sing out with a DON, as the ship sets sail
Waves of gold and silver dissolve to salty spray
As we all set sail to the ends of the sea

Going to deliver Binks' sake
We are pirates, slicing through the seas
The waves our pillons, the ship our roost
Flying the proud skull on our flags and sails

Now comes a storm through the far-off sky
Now the waves are dancing, beat upon the drums
If you lose your nerve, this breath could be your last
But if you just hold on, the morning sun will rise

Going to deliver Binks' sake
Today, and tomorrow, our dreams through the night
Waving our goodbyes, we'll never meet again
But don't look so down; for at night the moon will rise

Going to deliver Binks' sake
Let's all sing out with a DON, a song of the waves
Doesn't matter who you are, someday you'll just be bones
Never-ending, ever-wand'ring, our funny trav'ling tale...
