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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Easy you know the way it’s supposed to be |
| Silver people on the shoreline let us be |
| Very free and easy |
| Sail away where the morning sun goes high |
| Sail away where the wind blows sweet |
| Young birds fly |
| Take a sister there by the 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 human feelings die |
| We are leaving |
| You don’t need us |
| Go take a sister then by the hand |
| Lead her far from this foreign land |
| Far away, where we might laugh again |
| We are leaving |
| You don’t need us |
| Sailing ships on the water |
| Very free |
| Easy you know the way it’s supposed to be |
| Silver people on the shoreline let us be |
| Very free and easy |
