Wooden Ships lyrics
If you smile at me I will really understand 'cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side
There's just one thing that I would like to know
Can you tell me please who won the damn war?
Say can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks
Now I haven't got sick once, 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
Walkin' very free and easy
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
We can stare into it, as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't, you don't, don't
Go take a sister then by her hand
Lead her out of this foreign land
Far away where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't, you don't
You don't, you don't, you don't
You don't, you don't, you don't
Told it was over and over and over
And over and over and over again
You think we're all fools
And we were not listenin'
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
And it's a fair wind blowin' warm
Out of the south o'er my shoulder
Guess, I'm gonna set a course and go
Part of these releases
