Northern Skies Lyrics

by Dido

[Verse 1]
I have returned to northern skies
Where summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above
I have returned to the somber grays
Of days too early to come and too hurried to stay

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e116820-dido~northern_skies_lyrics.html ]
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]
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 2]
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]
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 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

[Outro]
I have returned
I have returned
I have returned
