Lyrics:

by David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Paul Kantner
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
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
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
And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm,
Out of the south over my shoulder,
Guess I'll set a course and go
