BARGES

Out of my window looking in the night, 
I can see the barges' flickering light. 
Silently flows the river to the sea, 
As the barges do go silently. 

CHORUS 
Barges, I would like to go with you, 
I would like to sail the ocean blue. 
Barges, have you treasure in your hold, 
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold. 

Out of my window looking in the night, 
I can see the barges flickering light. 
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red, 
I can see the barges far ahead. 

How my heart longs to sail away with you, 
As you sail across the ocean blue. 
But I must stay beside my ocean clear, 
As I watch you sail away from here. 

Away from my window on into the night, 
I will watch til they are out of sight. 
Taking their cargo far across the sea, 
I wish that someday they'd take me.
