Portland Town

I see the light, across the bay
 I see the light, not far away
 And I hear music all around
 I'm getting close to Portland town
 So mother, won't you make my bed?
 I see the light of Portland Head
 I see the light, I'm coming 'round
 I'm coming home, to Portland town
 Some years ago, out on my own
 I set a course for parts unknown
 Leaving behind old friend and foe
 Needing to find what I've come to know
 As I watch the islands fade away
 And bid farewell to Casco Bay
 Though it's been years and years since then
 My heart has brought me home again
 I see the light, across the bay
 I see the light, not far away
 And I hear music all around
 I'm getting close to Portland town
 So mother, won't you make my bed?
 I see the light of Portland Head
 I see the light, I'm coming 'round
 I'm coming home, to Portland town
 Of all the places I could go
 She's still the fairest port I know
 She works the sea, and tills the farms
 And holds her children in her arms
 No place to go, no prouder past
 Here comes the future full at last
 Here comes that beacon 'cross the sky
 And when I hold my head up high
 I see the light, across the bay
 I see the light, not far away
 And I hear music all around
 I'm getting close to Portland town
 So mother, won't you make my bed?
 I see the light of Portland Head
 I see the light, I'm coming 'round
 I'm coming home, to Portland town
 I see the light across the bay
 I see the light, not far away
 And I hear music all around
 I'm getting close to Portland town
 So mother, won't you make my bed?
 I see the light of Portland Head
 I see the light, I'm coming 'round
 I'm coming home, to Portland town
 I'm coming home...
