(Electric Guitars and Organ)Nash: If you smile at me I will understand'cause that is somethingEverybody everywhere does in the same language, yeahCrosby: I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other sideThere's just one thing I would like to knowCan you tell me please who won the war?Nash: Say can I have some of your purple berries?Crosby: Yes, I've been eating themFor six or seven weeks now I haven't got sick onceCrosby & Nash: Probably keep us all alivehere we goWooden ships on the water very free and easyEasy, you know the way it's supposed to beSilver people on the shoreline let us beTalkin' very free and easyInstrumental (Organ)Horror grips us as we watch you dieAll we can do is echo your anguished criesStare as all your human feelings dieWe are leaving, you don't ...Instrumental (Organ + Electric Guitar)Go take your sister then by the hand(Lead her) Lead her out of this foreign landFar away where we might laugh againWe are leaving, you don't need usYou don't, you don't ...Instrumental (Electric Guitar)And it's a fair windBlowin' warm out of the south o'er my shoulderI guess I am going to set a courseAnd you know we will surely, surely goEnding (Electric Guitars and Organ) 1969 Stay Straight Music (BMI) / Gold Hill Music, Inc.
