Northern Skies

Dido - Northern Skies

I have returned to Northern Skies

Where Summer hasn't touched

The clouds that pass above

I have returned to sombre greys

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

For once there was beauty here for me

Under the wide Northern Skies

And once there was magic here for me

Under the wide Northen Skies

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

For once there was beauty here for me

Under the wide Northern Skies

And once there was magic here for me

Under the wide Northen Skies

I have returned to Northern Skies

Where Summer hasn't touched

The clouds that pass above

I have returned to sombre greys

Of days too early to come

And too hurried to stay

For once there was beauty here for me

Under the wide Northern Skies

And once there was magic here for me

Under the wide Northen Skies

For once there was beauty here for me

Under the wide Northern Skies

And once there was magic here for me

Under the wide Northen Skies

I have returned

I have returned

I have returned
