Bink's Sake
I'm setting sail tonight
To deliver some sake
To an old man named Binks.
In his old age, nothing keeps him alive
But this little fix
And a memory from a distant shore
From seventy-six years ago
Old man Binks has sailed everywhere
To the coasts of Taipei and Malaga
And to countries that don't exist any more
He's seen a revolution
Tonight the sea is rough
But I have to deliver Bink's sake
Storm and lightning may strike,
Ghost ships will complete the way
If we stray off course
My soul is calling to me
Let me bid you farewell once more
This time for the last time !
Old man Binks knows a billion seas
He's lost something to each of them
To one his eye, to one his leg
To one his love, and his hope to hit land
The scars of freedom are his only treasure
He lives forever in every sailor's dreams
When I go ou to sea, I hope that it'll hurt
I drink some more of the sake of Binks !
I'm setting sail tonight !
