Wooden Ships

If you smile at me, you know I will understand

'Cause that is somethin' everybody

Everywhere, does in the same language

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

There's just one thing I got to know, can you tell me please

Who won?

You must try some of my purple berries

I've been eatin' them for six or seven weeks now

Haven't got sick once

Probably keep us both alive, yeah

Wooden ships on the water, very free (And easy)

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

Silver people on the shoreline, leave us be

Very free and easy

Sail away where the mornin' sun goes high

Sail away where the wind blows sweet, long bird's fly

Take a sister by her hand

Lead her far from this barren land

Horror grips us as we watch you die

All we can do is echo your anguished cry

Stare as all your human feelings die

We are leavin', you don't need us

Go and take a sister by her hand

Lead her far from this foreign land

Somewhere, where we might laugh again

We are leavin', you don't need us

No, you don't need us

Sailin' ships on the water, very free and easy

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

Silver people on the shoreline, leave us be

Very free and gone

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (Oh)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (Oh)

Ridin' (Ridin' easy)

Ridin' easy

Ridin' easy

Oh, ride the music (I'm ridin')

Oh, ride the music (I'm ridin')

Oh, ride the music

I'm ridin' the music, child
