Thank you my friend CWO3 Dave Alcantara for posting the music video of David Crosby and Graham Nash performing Triad at Berkeley, California in 1975.
This song was written by David Crosby when he was part of the Byrds and included on The Notorious Byrd Brothers LP released in 1967.

Here is David Crosby singing Triad with the Byrds in 1967.

"Triad" written by David Crosby
(originally by The Byrds)
Lyrics
You want to know how it will be
Me and him OR you and me
You both stand there your long hair flowing
Your eyes alive your mind still growing
Saying to me--"What can we do now that we both love you",
I love you too-- I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three
You are afraid--embarrassed too
No one has ever said such a thing to you
Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder
Face like ice--a little bit colder
Saying to you--"you can not do that, it breaks
All the rules you learned in school"
I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three
We love each other--it's plain to see
There's just one answer comes to me
--Sister--lovers--water brothers
And in time--maybe others
So you see--what we can do--is to try something new--
If you're crazy too--
I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three."

It has long been rumored that David Crosby and Roger McGuinn had a major disagreement (Fight) over this song, which lead to David leaving the Byrds
