Wooden Ships Lyrics

If you smile at me I won't understand
'Cause that is something everybody does
In the same language
I can see by your coat, my friend
That you're from the other side
There's just one thing I've got to know
Can you tell me?
Say, can I have some of your peppermints?
Yes, I've been eating them
For six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Got to keep us both alive
Windchips on the water, very free and easy
You know that's the way it's supposed to be
Silver beetle on the shoreline, leave us be
Talking 'bout very free and easy
Paddler grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo our anguished cries
Spare us all human feelings, sir
We are leaving, you don't need us
Go take your sister then by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Yes, it's always floating
Over my shoulder
Said, I'm best off alone
Yes, I'm singing alone
The breeze blowing
Over my shoulder

From the album: Deep In The Woods: Pastoral Psychedelia & Funky Folk 1968-1975
