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...
