Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

If you smile at me
I will understand
Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
I can see by your coat, my friend
Youre from the other side
Theres just one thing Ive got to know
Can you tell me please, who won
Say, can I have some of your purple berries
Yes, Ive been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Havent got sick once
Probly keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water, very free, and easy
Easy, you know the way its supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Talkn bout very free, and easy
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you dont need us
Go take a sister, then, by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you dont need us
And its a fair wind
Blowin warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess Ill set a course and go
[ Wooden Ships Lyrics ]
