I'm going back
To where I was a young man
Where my journey started and I set out to sea
I'm going back
But now I'm so much older
Almost starting over with what's left to me
In Maine I can believe that like the early morning sky I'm free
In Maine I can see all that surrounds me
And how the mountains watch me
Cautiously
I'm going back
To the river and the wood stove
To a path that's been neglected far too long
I'm going back
To barns and open meadows
To the fog that marks a coastline and inspires this song
In Maine I can believe that like the early morning sky I'm free
In Maine I can see all that surrounds me
And how the mountains watch me
Cautiously
I'm going back
To where I was a young man
Where my journey started and I set out to sea
I'm going back
Although I'm so much older
Almost starting over with what's left to me
