Wooden Ships Lyrics

If you smile at me you know I will understand
'Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does
In the same languageWell, 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 been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both aliveWooden 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 easySail away where the mornin' sun goes high
Sail away where the wind blows sweet, young birds fly
Take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this barren landHorror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cry
Stare as all you human feelings, die

We are leaving, you don't need usGo and take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this foreign land
Somewhere where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us
Need us, you don't, you don't need usSailing 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 goneNo no no
No no no
No no noRide and ride the music
Go and ride the music
Go and ride the musicGo, ride the music
(I'm riding)
Go, ride the music, babe
(I'm riding)
Go, ride the music
(C'mon, ride it child)
