[Verse 1]
Fm9 A#m7
Somewhere up there
Fm9 A#m7
In the high mountain air
Fm9 A#m7
Is the girl that I
G# C#maj7 G# G#
Would have married
[Verse 2]
Fm9 A#m7
But the summer was too long
Fm9 A#m7
And the ocean was too wide
G# A#m7
And the burden too heavy
G# C#maj7 G# G#
To be carried
[Verse 3]
Fm9 A#m7
In the fall when things were new
Fm9 A#m7
We walked out and wandered through
Fm9 A#m7
And a word set my restless mind
G# C#maj7 G# G#
To dreaming
[Verse 4]
Fm9 A#m7
When her soft warm caress
Fm9 A#m7
Made the hours stop and rest
G# A#m7
I wondered if it was...
G#
But it was semen
[Verse 5]
Fm9 A#m7
But the summer was too long
Fm9 A#m7
And the ocean was too wide
Fm9 A#m7
And our dreams too heavy
G# C#maj7 G# G#
To be carried
[Verse 6]
Fm9 A#m7
In those quiet Autumn days
Fm9 A#m7
Sitting in some small cafe
G# A#m7
Our worths they were set
G# C#maj7 G# G#
To each other
[Verse 7]
Fm9 A#m7
Here then when late afternoon
Fm9 A#m7
Casted shadows across the room
Fm9 A#m7
We’d walk back down the road
G# C#maj7 G# G#
Together
[Verse 8]
Fm9 A#m7
In the winter of the year
Fm9 A#m7
Through the snow you would appear
G# A#m7
And we lay around and laughing times
G#
Were easy
[Verse 9]
Fm9 A#m7
But our words were deaf and blind
Fm9 A#m7
To the coming summertime
Fm9 A#m7
Even though we knew inside
G#
It was-a coming
[Verse 10]
Fm9 A#m7
And in the spring when it was warm
Fm9
I would hold your suntanned arm
A#m7
And we’d walk across the grass just
G#
Feeling lazy
[Verse 11]
Fm9 A#m7
But our nights had just begun
Fm9 A#m7
To be worried restless ones
Fm9 A#m7
At the thoughts of the summer we
G#
Were happy
[Verse 12]
Fm9 A#m7
When you’re young you likely seem
Fm9 A#m7
Like an endless happy dream
Fm9 A#m7
But your choices aren’t always yours
G#
For making
[Verse 13]
Fm9 A#m7
So I sail across the mist
Fm9 A#m7
With a promise and a kiss
Fm9 A#m7
And I saw her face in every wave
G#
That’s breaking
[Verse 14]
Fm9 A#m7
And the summer was too long
Fm9 A#m7
And the ocean was too wide
G# A#m7
And the burden too heavy
G# C#maj7 G# G#
To be carried
[Verse 15]
Fm9 A#m7
Well I’ve seen her lots of times
Fm9 A#m7
Since that summer all arrived
Fm9 A#m7
And I know that what we used to have
G#
Is over
[Verse 16]
Fm9 A#m7
But somehow I can’t be sad
Fm9 A#m7
Thinking about the times we had
G# A#m7
It was love and I'll remember it
G#
Forever
[Verse 17]
Fm9 A#m7
And somewhere up there
Fm9 A#m7
In the high mountain air
Fm9 A#m7
Is the girl that I
G# C#maj7 G# G#
Would have married
[Verse 18]
Fm9 A#m7
But the summer was too long
Fm9 A#m7
And the ocean was too wide
Fm9 A#m7
And the burden too heavy
G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7
To be carried
