Barges

Barges

Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Sliently 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 barge's flickering light.
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red,
You can see them flickering far ahead.

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?

How my heart longs to sail away with you
As you sail across the ocean blue.
But I must sit beside my window dear,
And watch you sail away from here.

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?

I used to know the sign language that went along with these lyrics.
