Northern Skies

[Verse 1:] I have returned to northern skies Where summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above I have returned to the sombre grays Of days too early to come and too hurried to stay I have left a million stars And an ocean light and clearly blue I have left warmth of the sun And a million adventures not yet begun [Chorus 1:] For once there was beauty here for me Under the wide northern skies And once there was magic here for me Under the wide northern skies [Verse 2:] I saw trees as green and this dark as blue Heartbreak and poetry with deeper roots Now I know this is lonely country And leads me only back to the sea [Chorus 1] [Verse 3:] I have returned to northern skies Where summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above I have returned to the sombre grays Days too early to come and too hurried to stay [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2:] And once there was beauty here for me Under the wide northern skies And once there was magic here for me Under the wide northern skies [Outro:] I have returned I have returned I have returned
