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)
