Northern Skies

I have returned to northern skies Where summer hasn't touched The clouds that pass above I have returned to sombre greys 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 the warmth of the sun And a million adventures not yet begun 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 I saw trees as green and this dark as blue Heartbreak and poetry with deeper roots And now I know this is lonely country And it leads me only back to the sea 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 I have returned to northern skies Where summer hasn't touched The clouds that pass above I have returned to sombre greys Of days too early to come And too hurried to stay 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 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 Hmmmmm hmmmmm hmmmm Hmmmmmm hmmmmm Hmmmmm hmmmmmmmm Hmmmmmm hmmmmm Hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmm Hmmmmm hmmm hmmmmmm Hmmmmmm hmmm hmm I have returned Hmmmm hmmm Hmmm hmmmm I have returned ohoooooo I have returned Hmmmmmmmmm Ohoohhhooooo Hooooo hoooo Hmmm hmm hmmm Hmmm hmmm
