Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges; flickering light;
Silently flows the water 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, is there treasure 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 far ahead. Chorus.
Bed is Too Small
Bed is too small for my tiredness,
Give me a hill topp'd with trees;
Tuck a cloud up under my chin,
Lord, blow the moon out, please.
Rock me to sleep in a cradle of dreams,
Sing me a lullabye of leaves.
Tuck a cloud up under my chin,
Lord, blow the moon out, please.
Birthright
by Barbara Jean Thomas
We who are born is country places,
Far from the city and shifting faces,
We have a birthright no man can sell,
And a secret joy no man can tell.
For we are kindred to lordly things,
Wild duck's cry and white owl's wing;
Pike and salmon, bull and horse,
Curlew's cry, and the smell of gorse.
Pride of trees, swiftness of streams,
The magic of frost that shapes our dreams,
No baser vision his spirit fills,
Who walks by right on the naked hills.
Braves, they are riding,
They are riding cross the sky.
Braves, they are riding
As their Pawnee ponies fly.
Steeds, they are silver,
They are silver as the moon,
Soon in the darkness,
In the distance vanish soon.
Swift o'er the heavens,
O'er the heavens, never slow,
Soon, 'ere the dawning,
O'er the mountains they must go.
So come little warrior,
Squaw is calling, Chief is nigh,
Soon while you're dreaming,
They will watch you from the sky.
The Birdie Song
Way up in the sky the little birds fly
Way down in the nest the little birds rest
With a wing on the left and a wing on the right
The little birds sleep all through the night
SHHH! They’re SLEEPING!
The bright sun comes up, DEH DEW FALLS AWAY
Good morning, good morning the little birds say
Beep, Beep
Beep Beep, Beep Beep, here comes a satellite,
Beep Beep, Beep Beep, and now its out of sight.
Beep Beep, Beep Beep, around the Earth it goes,
Beep Beep, Beep Beep, and that's how science grows.
Beep Beep, Beep Beep, it photographs the skies,
Beep Beep, Beep Beep, and now we're weather-wise
Beep Beep, Beep Beep, it opens new frontiers,
Beep Beep, Beep Beep, for future pioneers.
