Woodstock movie - Wooden Ships lyrics

rate me

(David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Paul Kantner)<br>

[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]<br>

<br>

Stills: If you smile at me I will understand<br>

'Cause that is something<br>

Everybody everywhere does in the same language<br>

Crosby: I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side<br>

There's just one thing I got to know<br>

Can you tell me please who won?<br>

Stills: Say can I have some of your purple berries?<br>

Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them<br>

For six or seven weeks now haven't got sick once<br>

Stills: Probably keep us both alive<br>

<br>

Wooden ships on the water very free and easy<br>

Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be<br>

Silver people on the shoreline let us be<br>

Talkin' 'bout very free and easy<br>

<br>

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]<br>

<br>

Horror grips us as we watch you die<br>

All we can do is echo your anguished cries<br>

Stare as all human feelings die<br>

We are leaving, you don't need us<br>

<br>

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]<br>

<br>

Aaaah ...<br>

Go take your sister then by the hand<br>

Lead her away from this foreign land<br>

Far away where we might laugh again<br>

We are leaving, you don't need us<br>

<br>

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]<br>

<br>

And it's a fair wind<br>

Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder<br>

Guess I'll set a course and go<br>

<br>

[Ending (Electric Guitar and Organ)]<br>
