Wooden Ships

If you smile at me
You know I will understand
'Cause that is something
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've got to know
Can you tell me please, who won

You must try some of my purple berries
I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Prob'ly 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 leave us be
Very free, and easy

Sail away where the mornin sun goes high
Sail away where the wind blows sweet and young birds 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 cries
Stare as all our human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us

Go and take a sister 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
You don't need us ...

Sailing 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 ... C'mon
No, no-no-no, no-no, no no no
No, no-no-no, no-no, no no no
Go ride the music
Go ride the music
Go ride the music
...
