Lyrics:

(David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Paul Kantner)


[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]



Stills: If you smile at me I will understand

'Cause that is something

Everybody everywhere does in the same language

Crosby: I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side

There's just one thing I got to know

Can you tell me please who won?

Stills: Say can I have some of your purple berries?

Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them

For six or seven weeks now haven't got sick once

Stills: Probably keep us both alive



Wooden ships on the water very free and easy

Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be

Silver people on the shoreline let us be

Talkin' 'bout very free and easy



[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]



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 don't need us



[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]



Aaaah ...

Go take your sister then by the hand

Lead her away from this foreign land

Far away where we might laugh again

We are leaving, you don't need us



[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]



And it's a fair wind

Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder

Guess I'll set a course and go



[Ending (Electric Guitar and Organ)]
