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