Intro: Em

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

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

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

 Am
   I watch the clouds go sailing;
Am
   I watch the clock and sun.
       G
Oh, I watch myself, depending on,
    Em
September when it comes.

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