Intro. (Electric Guitars and Organ)
Nash: If you smile at me I will understand
'cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same way.
Crosby: I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side
There's just one thing I would like to know
Can you tell me please who won the war?
Nash: Say can I have some of your purple berries?
Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them
For six or seven weeks now I haven't got sick once
Crosby & Nash: 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
Talkin' about very free and easy.
Instrumental (Organ)
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.
Instrumental (Organ + Electric Guitar)
Go take a sister then by the hand
Lead her out of this foreign land
Far away where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us.
Instrumental (Electric Guitar)
And it's a fair wind
Blowin' warm out of the south o'er my shoulder.
Guess I'll set a course and go.

David Van Cortlandt Crosby (Los Angeles, 14 agosto 1941 – Santa Monica, 18 gennaio 2023) è stato un chitarrista, cantautore e musicista statunitense. Considerato uno dei pilastri della musica folk-rock americana, Crosby ha raggiunto fama internazionale come membro fondatore dei Byrds negli anni '60, gruppo che ha contribuito a definire il suono del folk rock con successi come "Mr. Tambourine Man" e "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)". Dopo la sua esperienza con i Byrds, Crosby ha formato un duo di successo con Stephen Stills e Graham Nash, noto come Crosby, Stills and Nash. Il trio ha pubblicato alcuni degli album folk-rock più influenti degli anni '70, tra cui "Déjà Vu" (1970) e "4 Way Street" (1971), caratterizzati da armonie vocali impeccabili e testi introspettivi. Crosby ha continuato a registrare musica in solitario e con diverse formazioni musicali fino alla fine della sua carriera, lasciando un'eredità significativa nella storia della musica americana.
