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
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
Mmm
I've returned
Mmm
I've returned
Oh
Oh
I've returned
Mmm
