Crosby, Stills & Nash - Wooden Ships

If you smile at me, I will understand'Cause that is something everybody everywhere doesIn the same language
I can see by your coat, my friendYou're from the other sideThere's just one thing I got to knowCan you tell me please, who won?
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks nowHaven't got sick onceProbably keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water, very free and easyEasy, you know the way it's supposed to beSilver people on the shoreline, let us beTalkin' 'bout very free and easy
Horror grips us as we watch you dieAll we can do is echo your anguished criesStare as all human feelings dieWe are leaving, you don't need us
Go, take your sister then, by the handLead her away from this foreign landFar away, where we might laugh againWe are leaving, you don't need us
And it's a fair wind blowin' warmOut of the south over my shoulderGuess I'll set a course and go
