[Verse 1]
A#m9 D#m7
Somewhere up there
A#m9 D#m7
In the high mountain air
A#m9 D#m7
Is the girl that I
C# F#maj7 C# C#
Would have married
[Verse 2]
A#m9 D#m7
But the summer was too long
A#m9 D#m7
And the ocean was too wide
C# D#m7
And the burden too heavy
C# F#maj7 C# C#
To be carried
[Verse 3]
A#m9 D#m7
In the fall when things were new
A#m9 D#m7
We walked out and wandered through
A#m9 D#m7
And a word set my restless mind
C# F#maj7 C# C#
To dreaming
[Verse 4]
A#m9 D#m7
When her soft warm caress
A#m9 D#m7
Made the hours stop and rest
C# D#m7
I wondered if it was...
C#
But it was semen
[Verse 5]
A#m9 D#m7
But the summer was too long
A#m9 D#m7
And the ocean was too wide
A#m9 D#m7
And our dreams too heavy
C# F#maj7 C# C#
To be carried
[Verse 6]
A#m9 D#m7
In those quiet Autumn days
A#m9 D#m7
Sitting in some small cafe
C# D#m7
Our worths they were set
C# F#maj7 C# C#
To each other
[Verse 7]
A#m9 D#m7
Here then when late afternoon
A#m9 D#m7
Casted shadows across the room
A#m9 D#m7
We’d walk back down the road
C# F#maj7 C# C#
Together
[Verse 8]
A#m9 D#m7
In the winter of the year
A#m9 D#m7
Through the snow you would appear
C# D#m7
And we lay around and laughing times
C#
Were easy
[Verse 9]
A#m9 D#m7
But our words were deaf and blind
A#m9 D#m7
To the coming summertime
A#m9 D#m7
Even though we knew inside
C#
It was-a coming
[Verse 10]
A#m9 D#m7
And in the spring when it was warm
A#m9
I would hold your suntanned arm
D#m7
And we’d walk across the grass just
C#
Feeling lazy
[Verse 11]
A#m9 D#m7
But our nights had just begun
A#m9 D#m7
To be worried restless ones
A#m9 D#m7
At the thoughts of the summer we
C#
Were happy
[Verse 12]
A#m9 D#m7
When you’re young you likely seem
A#m9 D#m7
Like an endless happy dream
A#m9 D#m7
But your choices aren’t always yours
C#
For making
[Verse 13]
A#m9 D#m7
So I sail across the mist
A#m9 D#m7
With a promise and a kiss
A#m9 D#m7
And I saw her face in every wave
C#
That’s breaking
[Verse 14]
A#m9 D#m7
And the summer was too long
A#m9 D#m7
And the ocean was too wide
C# D#m7
And the burden too heavy
C# F#maj7 C# C#
To be carried
[Verse 15]
A#m9 D#m7
Well I’ve seen her lots of times
A#m9 D#m7
Since that summer all arrived
A#m9 D#m7
And I know that what we used to have
C#
Is over
[Verse 16]
A#m9 D#m7
But somehow I can’t be sad
A#m9 D#m7
Thinking about the times we had
C# D#m7
It was love and I'll remember it
C#
Forever
[Verse 17]
A#m9 D#m7
And somewhere up there
A#m9 D#m7
In the high mountain air
A#m9 D#m7
Is the girl that I
C# F#maj7 C# C#
Would have married
[Verse 18]
A#m9 D#m7
But the summer was too long
A#m9 D#m7
And the ocean was too wide
A#m9 D#m7
And the burden too heavy
C# F#maj7 C# F#maj7 C# F#maj7
To be carried
