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
