Northern Skies

I have returned to the northern skies
Where the summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above
I have returned to the somber grace
Of days too early to come and too early to stay

And I have left a million stars
And an ocean light and clearly blue
And I have left the warmth of the sun
And a million adventures not yet begun

For once there was beauty here for me
Under the white northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the white northern skies

I saw trees as green and as dark as blue
Heartbreak and poetry with deeper roots
And now I know this is lonely country
It leads me only back to the sea

For once there was beauty here for me
Under the white northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the white northern skies

I have returned to the northern skies
Where the summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above
I have returned to the somber grace
Of days too early to come and too early to stay

For once there was beauty here for me
Under the white northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the white northern skies

And once there was beauty here for me
Under the white northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the white northern skies


I have returned

I have returned
I have returned
