Northern Skies

I have retrurned to northern skies where the summer had touched

The clouds that pass above

I have returned to the somber grace

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

I have left a million stars and an ocean so lightly 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 wide Northern skies

And once there was magic here for me under these wide Northern skies

I saw trees as green and this dark and blue heartbreak and poetry with deeper roots

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 these wide Northern skies.

And once there was magic there for me under these wide Northern skies

I have retrurned to Northern skies where the summer had touched

The clouds that pass above

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 wide Northern skies

And once there was magic here for me under these wide Northern skies

And once there was beauty here for me under these wide Northern skies

And once there was magic here for me under these wide Northern skies

I have returned

I have returned

I have returned
