Schooner Fare - Portland Town lyrics

Artist: Schooner Fare

album: Our Maine Songs


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...
To Portland town
