Nine
(Happy Songs)
He sings happy songs
Of better days
Of brighter futures
That turned better ways
.
He sings of Bink
And nakama true
Of yellow suns
And oceans blue
.
He sings of death and life and love and hate
Of all the world he's seen at sea
Of islands far or vast or wide
As if there's no better place than this ship to be
.
He sings happy songs
Of better days
Of brighter futures
That turned better ways
.
He sings of Bink
And nakama true
Because beyond this godforsaken haze
The ocean must still be blue
.
If only wind could carry sound
Farther than these eyes can see
(Although... Yohoho, skull joke!)
How satisfied his bones might be
If a certain whale
Could know his tale
And his music could flow free
