Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I have returned to the northern skies

where the summer had not touched

The clouds that pass above

 Oh, and i have returned to the sombre grace

 Of the days too early to come and too early to stay

 And I have left a million stars

 And an ocean so lightly, so clearly blue

 And i have left the warmth of the sun

  (add )

And a million adventures not yet begun

The great sense of passing through

The great sense of passing through

The great sense of passing through

 Oh, for once there was beauty here for me

Under these white northern skies

And i felt the green was blacker

And the blue was darker still

 My roots are lying deeper than i ever think they will again

(add )

Heartache and poverty, under these northern skies

The great sense of passing through

The great sense of passing through

The great sense of passing through
