[Verse 1]
Cm9 Fm7
Somewhere up there
Cm9 Fm7
In the high mountain air
Cm9 Fm7
Is the girl that I
D# G#maj7 D# D#
Would have married
[Verse 2]
Cm9 Fm7
But the summer was too long
Cm9 Fm7
And the ocean was too wide
D# Fm7
And the burden too heavy
D# G#maj7 D# D#
To be carried
[Verse 3]
Cm9 Fm7
In the fall when things were new
Cm9 Fm7
We walked out and wandered through
Cm9 Fm7
And a word set my restless mind
D# G#maj7 D# D#
To dreaming
[Verse 4]
Cm9 Fm7
When her soft warm caress
Cm9 Fm7
Made the hours stop and rest
D# Fm7
I wondered if it was...
D#
But it was semen
[Verse 5]
Cm9 Fm7
But the summer was too long
Cm9 Fm7
And the ocean was too wide
Cm9 Fm7
And our dreams too heavy
D# G#maj7 D# D#
To be carried
[Verse 6]
Cm9 Fm7
In those quiet Autumn days
Cm9 Fm7
Sitting in some small cafe
D# Fm7
Our worths they were set
D# G#maj7 D# D#
To each other
[Verse 7]
Cm9 Fm7
Here then when late afternoon
Cm9 Fm7
Casted shadows across the room
Cm9 Fm7
We’d walk back down the road
D# G#maj7 D# D#
Together
[Verse 8]
Cm9 Fm7
In the winter of the year
Cm9 Fm7
Through the snow you would appear
D# Fm7
And we lay around and laughing times
D#
Were easy
[Verse 9]
Cm9 Fm7
But our words were deaf and blind
Cm9 Fm7
To the coming summertime
Cm9 Fm7
Even though we knew inside
D#
It was-a coming
[Verse 10]
Cm9 Fm7
And in the spring when it was warm
Cm9
I would hold your suntanned arm
Fm7
And we’d walk across the grass just
D#
Feeling lazy
[Verse 11]
Cm9 Fm7
But our nights had just begun
Cm9 Fm7
To be worried restless ones
Cm9 Fm7
At the thoughts of the summer we
D#
Were happy
[Verse 12]
Cm9 Fm7
When you’re young you likely seem
Cm9 Fm7
Like an endless happy dream
Cm9 Fm7
But your choices aren’t always yours
D#
For making
[Verse 13]
Cm9 Fm7
So I sail across the mist
Cm9 Fm7
With a promise and a kiss
Cm9 Fm7
And I saw her face in every wave
D#
That’s breaking
[Verse 14]
Cm9 Fm7
And the summer was too long
Cm9 Fm7
And the ocean was too wide
D# Fm7
And the burden too heavy
D# G#maj7 D# D#
To be carried
[Verse 15]
Cm9 Fm7
Well I’ve seen her lots of times
Cm9 Fm7
Since that summer all arrived
Cm9 Fm7
And I know that what we used to have
D#
Is over
[Verse 16]
Cm9 Fm7
But somehow I can’t be sad
Cm9 Fm7
Thinking about the times we had
D# Fm7
It was love and I'll remember it
D#
Forever
[Verse 17]
Cm9 Fm7
And somewhere up there
Cm9 Fm7
In the high mountain air
Cm9 Fm7
Is the girl that I
D# G#maj7 D# D#
Would have married
[Verse 18]
Cm9 Fm7
But the summer was too long
Cm9 Fm7
And the ocean was too wide
Cm9 Fm7
And the burden too heavy
D# G#maj7 D# G#maj7 D# G#maj7
To be carried
