D Em C G
There's a cross above the baby's bed,
D Em
A Savior in her dreams.
C G
But she was not delivered then,
D Em
And the baby became me.
Em C G
There's a light inside the darkened room,
D Em
A footstep on the stair.
C G
A door that I forever close,
D G
To leave those memories there.
C Am
So when the shadows link them,
C Am
Into an evening sun.
Em C G
First there's summer, then I'll let you in.
D Em
September when it comes.
Em C G
I plan to crawl outside these walls,
D Em
Close my eyes and see.
C G
And fall into the heart and arms,
D Em
Of those who wait for me.
C G
I cannot move a mountain now;
D Em
I can no longer run.
C G
I cannot be who I was then:
D G
In a way, I never was.
C Am
I watch the clouds go sailing;
C Am
I watch the clock and sun.
Em C G
Oh, I watch myself, depending on,
D Em
September when it comes.
C Am
When the shadows link them,
C Am
And burn away the clouds.
Em C
They will fly me, like an angel,
G D Em
To a place where I can rest.
C G
When this begins, I'll let you know,
D Em
September when it comes.
