Verse 1:
(E)
I have returned, to northern skies,
A#m F
Where the summer hasn't touched, the clouds that pass above
(E)
I have returned, to the somber grace,
A#m F
Of the days too early to come, and too hurried to stay.
Verse 2:
(E)
Oh I have left, a million stars,
A#m F
And an ocean light, and clearly blue.
(E)
And I have left, the warmth of the sun,
A#m F
And a million adventures, not yet begun.

Verse 3:
(E)

And it leads me only, back to the sea.
