Out of my window looking in the
night,
I can see the barges' flickering light
Silently flows the river to the sea,
And the barges too go silently.
(Chorus) Barges, I would
like to go with you,
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, have you treasures 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 them flickering far ahead.
(Chorus)
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.
(Chorus)
Away from my window on into the
night,
I will watch till they are out of sight.
Taking their cargo far across the sea,
I wish that some day they'd take me.
(Chorus)
