Wooden Ships - Jefferson Starship

If you smile at me you know I will understand

'Cause that is something everybody

Everywhere does in the same language

Well 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

I been eating them for six or seven weeks now

Haven’t got sick once

Probably keep us both alive, yeah

Wooden ships on the water very free and easy

You know the way it’s supposed to be Silver people on the shoreline leave us be Very free and easy

Sail away where the mornin' sun goes high

Sail away where the wind blows sweet, young birds fly

Take a sister by her 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 your human feelings die

We are leaving you don’t need us Go and take a sister by her hand

Lead her far from this foreign land

Somewhere where we might laugh again

We are leaving you don’t need us No, you don’t need us Sailing ships on the water very free and easy

Easy you know the way it’s supposed to be Silver people on the shoreline leave us be Very free and gone

No, no, no No, no, no No, no, no Ride the music

Go ride the music

Go ride the music

Go ride the music

Go ride the music

Go ride the music

Go ride the music child
