Intro

E

Verse 1

E I have returned, to northern skies,

Where the summer hasn't tAmouched, the clouds that pass aEbove

E I have returned, to the somber grace,

Of the days too early to Amcome, and too hurried to Estay.

Verse 2

E Oh I have left, a million stars,

And an ocean lAmight, and clearly bElue.

E And I have left, the warmth of the sun,

And a million adAmventures, not yet beEgun.

Under the wDide____A_, northern sEkies

And oDnce there was mAagic here for Eme,

Under the wDide____A_, northern sEkies.

E I saw trees as green, and this dark as blue,

Heartbreak and pAmoetry, with deeper rEoots

And it leads me oAmnly, back to the Esea.

For oDnce there was bAeauty here for Eme,

Under the wDide____A_, northern sEkies,
