Wooden Ships

If you smile at me, I will understand
 'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language
 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?
 Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
 Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now, haven't got sick once
 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
