Lyrics
The summer sky it calls to me Whenever I’m alone It sends its winds up north to me And beckon me back home The summer nights – they fill my dreams While I’m just growing old They take me back and warm my bones Still I wake up in the cold I lay my head back down to earth And turn my thoughts back home to stay For what its worth I’d do it all again this way Now the winter sky hangs over me and robs me of my light The winter winds they torment me and leave me cold at night The winter nights – they make it know that I must stay and fight I raise my hand and cast my stone but it won’t break through the ice I hide my head inside my coat And dream again of warmer days For what its worth I’d do it all again this way The northern skies – they comfort me And the stars, they guide me home The northern lights – they paint the sky So I know I’m not alone The southern winds though far away beckon me back home I dream about those summer days they somehow warm my bones But I feel my feet on frozen ground And know that dream is far way For what its worth I’d do it all again this way
