Verse:
DmDm
There's a cross above the baby's bed,
C majorC C6C6 DmDm
A augmentedA savior in her dreams,
Dm7Dm7 DmDm
But she was not delivered then,
C majorC DmDm
And the baby became me,
Bb majorBb FF
There's a light inside the darkened room,
C majorC DmDm
A augmentedA footstep on the stair,
Bb majorBb FF
A augmentedA door that I forever close,
C majorC FF A minorAm
To leave those memories there,
Bb majorBb Edim7Edim7 G minorGm FF
So when the shadows lengthen,
Bb majorBb G minorGm
Into an evening sun,
C majorC Dm7Dm7 C majorC Bb majorBb FF
First there's summer, then I'll let you in,
C majorC DmDm
September when it comes.

Verse:
Am7Am7 Bb majorBb FF
I plan to crawl outside these walls,
C majorC DmDm
Close my eyes and see,
Bb majorBb FF
And fall into the heart and arms,
C majorC FF C majorC DmDm C majorC
Of those who wait for me,
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb FF
I cannot move a mountain now,
C majorC DmDm C majorC
I can no longer run,
Bb majorBb FF
I cannot be who I was then,
C majorC FF
In a way I never was.
Bb majorBb G minorGm FF
I watch the clouds go sailing,
Bb majorBb G minorGm
I watch the clock and sun,
DmDm Dm7Dm7 C6C6 Amaj7Amaj7 FF
Oh I watch myself depending on,

September when it comes.

When the shadows lengthen,

A augmentedA place where I can rest,
Amaj7Amaj7 FF
When this begins I'll let you in,
C majorC Dm7Dm7 C majorC Bbmaj7Bbmaj7 FF
September when it comes.
