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 to 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 from my bed

How my heart yearns to be with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window drear
As I watch you sail away from here
