BARGES 

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 inthe night, 
I can see the barges' flickering light. 
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red; 
You can see them flickering far ahead. 

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