(David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Paul Kantner)

[Nash:] If you smile at me I will really 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
|
'Cos there's just one thing that I like to know
|
Can you tell me please who won our damn war?
|
[Nash:] Say can I have some of your purple berries?
|
[Crosby:] Yes, I've been eating them
|
For six or seven weeks now, now haven't got sick once
|
[Crosby and Nash:] 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' very free and easy
|
|
Horror grips us as we watch you die
|
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
|
We can stare as all human feelings die
|
We are leaving, you don't, you don't, don't mmm...
|
|
Go take your sister then by the hand
|
Lead her out of this foreign land
|
Far away where we might laugh again
|
We are leaving, you don't, you don't...
|
|
And it's a fair wind
|
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
|
I guess I'm gonna set a course and go
|
