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 

You're from the other side 

There's just one thing I've got to know 

Can you tell me please, who won 



Say, can I have some of your purple berries 

Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now 

Haven't got sick once 

Prob'ly 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 

Talk'n 'bout very free, and easy 



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 away from this foreign land 

Far away, where we might laugh again 

We are leaving, you don't need us 



And it's a fair wind 

Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder 

Guess I'll set a course and go
