Verse 1:
()
I have returned, to northern skies,
Where the summer hasn't touched, the clouds that pass above
()
I have returned, to the somber grace,
Of the days too early to come, and too hurried to stay.
Verse 2:
()
Oh 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.
Chorus 1:
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.
Verse 3:
()
I saw trees as green, and this dark as blue,
Heartbreak and poetry, with deeper roots
()
Now I know, this is lonely country,
And it leads me only, back to the sea.
Chorus 2:
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.
