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 the barges far ahead
chorus
How I would love to sail away with you As you sail across the ocean blue but I must stay beside my window drear As I watch you sail away from here.
