Northern Skies

I have returned to the northern skies

Where the summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above

And 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 these 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

I'd break them poetry deep as roots

And now I know this lonely country

It leads me only back to the sea



For once there was beauty here for me under these 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 had not touched the clouds that pass above

Oh

I have returned to the somber grace

Of the days too early to come and too early to stay



For once there was beauty here for me under these 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 these white northern skies

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