Lyrics:

PORTLAND TOWN
(S.Romanoff)

Chorus
I see the lights across the bay,
I see the lights 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 lights of Portland Head,
I see the lights I'm coming round,
I'm coming home to Portland Town.

1.
Some years ago out on my own,
I set a course for parts unknown,
Leaving behind old friends and foe,
Needing to find what I've come to know,
I watch the islands fade away,
And bid farewell to Gascon Bay,
Though it's been years and years since then,
My heart has brought me home again.

2.
Of all the places I did 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 hold a prouder past,
Here comes that future full at last,
Here comes that beacon 'cross the sky,
And I hold my head up high.
