September When It Comes - Rosanne Cash

To play the song in the original key, tune your guitar 1/2 step down. 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.
