BARGES

Out of my window looking, through the night
I can see the barges’ flickering light.
Silently flows the river to the sea
And the barges they 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 through the night,
I can see the barges’ flickering light.
Starboard shines green, and port is glowing red.
You can see them flickering far ahead. (chorus)

One of these days, and it will not be long,
You will look for me, and I’ll be gone.
Face to the wind, far out upon the sea,
Where the whales and dolphins sing to me. (chorus)

So, out of my window, looking through the night,
I can see the barges’ flickering light.
Silently flows the river to the sea,
And the barges they go silently...
