Intro: E minorEm

      G+G
There's a cross above the baby's bed,
  E minorEm
A augmentedA Saviour in her dreams.
E minorEm
  But she was not delivered then,
     E minorEm
And the baby became me.
      G+G
There's a light inside the darkened room,
  E minorEm
A augmentedA footstep on the stairs.
E minorEm
  A augmentedA door that I forever close,
  E minorEm
To leave those memories there.

A minorAm
 So when the shadows link them,
A minorAm
 Into an evening sun.
       G+G
Well first there's summer, then I'll let you in.
  E minorEm
September when it comes.

    G+G
I plan to crawl outside these walls,
 E minorEm
Close my eyes and see.
E minorEm
  And fall into the heart and arms,
   E minorEm
Of those who wait for me.
   G+G
I cannot move a mountain now;
  E minorEm
I can no longer run.
E minorEm
 I cannot be who I was then:
   E minorEm
In a way, I never was.

 A minorAm
  I watch the clouds go sailing;
A minorAm
  I watch the clock and sun.
    G+G
Oh, I watch myself, depending on,
  E minorEm
September when it comes.

A minorAm
  So when the shadows link them,
A minorAm
  And burn away the clouds.
     C majorC
They will fly me, like an angel,
E minorEm
To a place where I can rest.
    E minorEm
When this begins, I'll let you know,
  E minorEm
September when it comes.
