1) Out of my window, looking in the night, I can see the barges flickering light
Quietly goes the river to the sea, and those barges do go silently

Refrain:
Barges, I would like to go with you,
I would like to sail the oceans blue
Barges, have you treasures in your holds?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?

2) Out of my window, looking in the night, I can see the barges flicker light
Port shining green and starboard glowing red, I can see those barges far ahead.

3) How my heart longs to sail away with you, As you sail across the oceans blue
But I must sit beside my window dear and watch you sail away from here

4) Out of my window, looking in the night, I can see the barges flickering light
Harbour ahead and anchorage in view, I will find my resting place with you.

5) Away from my window, on into the night, I will watch 'til they are out of sight
Taking their cargo far across the sea, How I’d wish that someday they’d take me

6) Out of my window, looking in the night, I can see those barges flickering light
People are sailing far and far away, and I hope to go with them one day.
