portland town - schooner fare lyrics

[chorus: steve romanoff]
i see the light across the bay
i see the light not far away
and i hear music all around

[chorus: all]
i’m gettin’ 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 comin’ ’round
i’m comin’ home to portland town

[verse 1: steve romanoff]
some years ago, out on my own
i set a course for parts unknown
leavin’ behind both friend and foe
needin’ to find what i’ve come to know
as i watched 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

[chorus: all]
and i see the light across the bay
i see the light not far away
and i hear music all around
i’m gettin’ 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 comin’ ’round
i’m comin’ home to portland town

[verse 2: steve romanoff]
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 could know a prouder past
here comes the future full at last
here comes that beacon ‘cross the sky
and when i hold my head up high…

[chorus: all]
i see the light across the bay
i see the light not far away
and i hear music all around
i’m gettin’ 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 comin’ ’round
i’m comin’ 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 gettin’ 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 comin’ ’round
i’m comin’ home to portland town
i’m comin’ home to portland town
