Lyrics

MACKINAC, I’VE COME HOME
© 2019 Roger MacNaughton


I met you as a child. I watched your twinkling harbor lights.

The moon rose high…and summer smiled…upon your glorious wind-blown sights.

The days were longer then. Each moment filled with fantasy.

Your craggy heights, your quiet nights…held close your island mysteries.


Oh Mackinac, my Mackinac…I lost my heart to you along the way.

I long to feel your warmth once again.

Dreaming of the days…that we’ll share together.


(Instrumental break)


Oh Mackinac, my Mackinac…I lost my heart to you along the way.

I long to feel your warmth once again.

Dreaming of the days…that we’ll share together.


And now it seems the nights are growing longer. Summer’s fading and autumn’s growing stronger.

And it’s true…I’ve come to realize…there’s something in your smile. Something in your eyes…


The cannon roars again. But this time it tolls for me.

I’ve traveled far, I’ve traveled well…No matter where I’ve gone…No matter how or when,

No matter where I roam,

Mackinac, you’re my home.

Mackinac, I’ve Come Home…………I’ve Come Home.
