[Verse 1]
D#m9 G#m7
Somewhere up there
D#m9 G#m7
In the high mountain air
D#m9 G#m7
Is the girl that I
F# Bmaj7 F# F#
Would have married
[Verse 2]
D#m9 G#m7
But the summer was too long
D#m9 G#m7
And the ocean was too wide
F# G#m7
And the burden too heavy
F# Bmaj7 F# F#
To be carried
[Verse 3]
D#m9 G#m7
In the fall when things were new
D#m9 G#m7
We walked out and wandered through
D#m9 G#m7
And a word set my restless mind
F# Bmaj7 F# F#
To dreaming
[Verse 4]
D#m9 G#m7
When her soft warm caress
D#m9 G#m7
Made the hours stop and rest
F# G#m7
I wondered if it was...
F#
But it was semen
[Verse 5]
D#m9 G#m7
But the summer was too long
D#m9 G#m7
And the ocean was too wide
D#m9 G#m7
And our dreams too heavy
F# Bmaj7 F# F#
To be carried
[Verse 6]
D#m9 G#m7
In those quiet Autumn days
D#m9 G#m7
Sitting in some small cafe
F# G#m7
Our worths they were set
F# Bmaj7 F# F#
To each other
[Verse 7]
D#m9 G#m7
Here then when late afternoon
D#m9 G#m7
Casted shadows across the room
D#m9 G#m7
We’d walk back down the road
F# Bmaj7 F# F#
Together
[Verse 8]
D#m9 G#m7
In the winter of the year
D#m9 G#m7
Through the snow you would appear
F# G#m7
And we lay around and laughing times
F#
Were easy
[Verse 9]
D#m9 G#m7
But our words were deaf and blind
D#m9 G#m7
To the coming summertime
D#m9 G#m7
Even though we knew inside
F#
It was-a coming
[Verse 10]
D#m9 G#m7
And in the spring when it was warm
D#m9
I would hold your suntanned arm
G#m7
And we’d walk across the grass just
F#
Feeling lazy
[Verse 11]
D#m9 G#m7
But our nights had just begun
D#m9 G#m7
To be worried restless ones
D#m9 G#m7
At the thoughts of the summer we
F#
Were happy
[Verse 12]
D#m9 G#m7
When you’re young you likely seem
D#m9 G#m7
Like an endless happy dream
D#m9 G#m7
But your choices aren’t always yours
F#
For making
[Verse 13]
D#m9 G#m7
So I sail across the mist
D#m9 G#m7
With a promise and a kiss
D#m9 G#m7
And I saw her face in every wave
F#
That’s breaking
[Verse 14]
D#m9 G#m7
And the summer was too long
D#m9 G#m7
And the ocean was too wide
F# G#m7
And the burden too heavy
F# Bmaj7 F# F#
To be carried
[Verse 15]
D#m9 G#m7
Well I’ve seen her lots of times
D#m9 G#m7
Since that summer all arrived
D#m9 G#m7
And I know that what we used to have
F#
Is over
[Verse 16]
D#m9 G#m7
But somehow I can’t be sad
D#m9 G#m7
Thinking about the times we had
F# G#m7
It was love and I'll remember it
F#
Forever
[Verse 17]
D#m9 G#m7
And somewhere up there
D#m9 G#m7
In the high mountain air
D#m9 G#m7
Is the girl that I
F# Bmaj7 F# F#
Would have married
[Verse 18]
D#m9 G#m7
But the summer was too long
D#m9 G#m7
And the ocean was too wide
D#m9 G#m7
And the burden too heavy
F# Bmaj7 F# Bmaj7 F# Bmaj7
To be carried
