Northern Skies 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

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
