F
I have returned to northern skies
                    A#m
Where summer hasn't touched
                       F
the clouds that pass above
I have returned to the somber grays
                      A#m                      F
Of days too early to come and too hurried to stay

I have left a million stars
And an ocean light and clearly blue
I have left the warmth of the sun
And a million adventures not yet begun

Chorus:
    D#              A#              F
For once there was beauty here for me
           D#  D#         F
Under the wide northern skies
    D#             A#              F
And once there was magic here for me
          D#  D#          F
Under the wide northern skies

I saw trees as green and as dark as blue
I break in poetry the deeper roots
Now I know this is lonely country
And leads me only back to the sea

Chorus

I have returned to northern skies
Where summer hasn't touched the clouds
that pass above
I have returned to the somber grays
Days too early to come and too hurried to stay

Chorus:
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
And 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

I have returned
I have returned
I have returned
