Lyrics

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 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 and young birds fly Take your sister then 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 cry Stare as all you human feelings die We are leaving You don't need us Go and 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
