lyrics

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
Oh I see the light, I'm coming 'round
I'm going home to Portland Town

Some years ago, out on my own
I set a course for parts unknown
Leaving behind both friend and foe
Needing to find what I've come to know
I watched the island fade away
And bid farewell to Casco Bay
But it's been years and years since then
My heart has brought me home again

Oh 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
Oh I see the light, I'm coming 'round
I'm going home to Portland Town

Of all the places I did go
She's still the fairest port I know
She works the seas and she tills the farms
She holds her children in her arms
No place could know a prouder past
Here comes that future, full at last
Here comes that beacon across the sky
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
Ah, so, Mother, won't you make my bed?
I see the light of Portland Head
Oh I see the light, I'm coming 'round
I'm going home to Portland Town

Oh 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
Ah, so, Mother, won't you make my bed?
I see the light of Portland Head
Oh I see the light, I'm coming 'round
I'm going home to Portland Town
I'm going home to Portland Town
I'm going home
