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

[Em] There's a c[Em]ross above the b[C]aby's b[G]ed, A S[D]aviour in her [Em]dreams. [C] But she was not d[G]elivered t[Em]hen, And the b[D]aby became [Em]me. There's a l[Em]ight inside the d[C]arkened ro[G]om, A f[D]ootstep on the st[Em]airs. [C] A door that I for[G]ever cl[Em]ose, To l[D]eave those memories t[Em]here. [C] So when the shadows l[Am]ink them, [C] Into an evening s[Am]un. Well first th[Em]ere's summer, then I'll [C]let you [G]in. Sep[D]tember when it c[Em]omes. I plan [Em]to crawl outsi[C]de these w[G]alls, Cl[D]ose my eyes and [Em]see. [C] And fall into the h[G]eart and [Em]arms, Of th[D]ose who wait for [Em]me. I cann[Em]ot move a m[C]ountain n[G]ow; I c[D]an no longer r[Em]un. [C] I cannot be who [G]I was th[Em]en: In a w[D]ay, I never [Em]was. [C] I watch the clouds go sa[Am]iling; [C] I watch the clock and [Am]sun. Oh, I w[Em]atch myself, dep[C]ending o[G]n, Sept[D]ember when it c[Em]omes. [C] So when the shadows l[Am]ink them, [C] And burn away the cl[Am]ouds. They will [Em]fly me, like an[C] angel, [G]To a pl[D]ace where I can r[Em]est. When th[C]is begins, I'll l[G]et you kn[Em]ow, Sept[D]ember when it c[Em]omes.
