Somewhere up there 
       Em9           Am7

To be carried

In the fall when things were new

To dreaming

When her soft warm caress

  I wondered if it was... 
G 
But it was semen

To be carried

In those quiet Autumn days 
Em9             Am7 
Sitting in some small cafe

Our worths they were set

To each other

Here then when late afternoon 
     Em9                 Am7 
Casted shadows across the room

We’d walk back down the road 
G Cmaj7 G G 
Together 
 
Verse 8
      Em9       Am7 
In the winter of the year 
Em9                  Am7 
Through the snow you would appear

And we lay around and laughing times 
  G 
Were easy

      Em9           Am7 
But our words were deaf and blind

It was-a coming

     Em9                     Am7 
And in the spring when it was warm 
        Em9 
I would hold your suntanned arm

And we’d walk across the grass just 
         G 
Feeling lazy

        Em9               Am7 
But our nights had just begun 
       Em9              Am7 
To be worried restless ones

At the thoughts of the summer we 
      G 
Were happy

When you’re young you likely seem 
        Em9            Am7 
Like an endless happy dream

But your choices aren’t always yours 
     G 
For making 
 
Verse 13

So I sail across the mist

And I saw her face in every wave

That’s breaking

Since that summer all arrived

And I know that what we used to have

Is over
